Suspension Strut Assembly is manufactured to exceed original equipmentstandards. It features a nitrogen twin tube design to provide a quick dampeningresponse, and it has a self-adjusting valve system to ensure productperformance sensitive to road conditions, providing a smooth controlled drivingexperience. The use of NOK multi-lip piston seal is designed to effectivelyseal to prevent external dust and debris from entering in gas & oil. Highstrength steel rod is micro-polished with double chrome plate. All rod surfacefinished roughness is less than 0.08um. This results in better corrosionresistance, longer service life and friction reduction. An all-weathercondition shock absorber, contains oil with excellent temperature-viscosityperformance (-45° C to 100° C), reduces the wearing of the internal valvecomponents, providing longer durability. The product is ISO/TS 16949:2002 qualitycertified with limited product warranty.
When to replace wornshocks or struts?
There are four main reasons thatdetermine when to replace them:
1) To upgrade performance;
2) Torestore the vehicle’s designed performance (usually after 50,000 miles);
3) Whenthe vehicle has excessive ride control conditions (i.e. nose dive, body roll,etc.); or
4) Whenthe vehicle has a failed unit (i.e. dripping hydraulic fluid, tire cupping,excessive bounce, etc.).
Testing has shown that original equipment gas-charged shocks and strutsdegrade measurably by 50,000 miles. For many popular-selling vehicles,replacing these worn shocks and struts can improve the vehicle's handlingcharacteristics and comfort. Unlike a tire, which rotates a specific number oftimes per mile, a shock absorber or strut may compress and extend several timesper mile on a smooth road, or several hundred times per mile on a very roughroad. There are other factors that affect the life of a shock or strut, suchas, regional weather conditions, amount and type of road contaminates, drivinghabits, loading of the vehicle, tire / wheel modifications, and the generalmechanical condition of the suspension and tires.
Why replace worn shocks or struts?
Performance degrades slowly over time. When shocks and struts aren'tcontrolling the tire and body movement very well due to wear, all ride controlconditions are affected. Stopping ability will be reduced. The vehicle'sstability, handling and control abilities all become reduced so the driver willhave to compensate or drive more slowly to maintain control. Tire performanceis reduced and because of excessive movement, all other attached steering &suspension components are affected.
