Suspension
Strut Assembly is manufactured to exceed original equipment standards. It
features a nitrogen twin tube design to provide a quick dampening response, and
it has a self-adjusting valve system to ensure product performance sensitive to
road conditions, providing a smooth controlled driving experience. The use of
NOK multi-lip piston seal is designed to effectively seal to prevent external
dust and debris from entering in gas & oil. High strength steel rod is
micro-polished with double chrome plate. All rod surface finished roughness is
less than 0.08um. This results in better corrosion resistance, longer service
life and friction reduction. An all-weather condition shock absorber, contains
oil with excellent temperature-viscosity performance (-45?? C to 100?? C),
reduces the wearing of the internal valve components, providing longer
durability. The product is ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality certified with limited
product warranty.
When to replace worn shocks or struts
There are
four main reasons that determine when to replace them:
1) To upgrade
performance;
2) To restore
the vehicle??s designed performance (usually after 50,000 miles);
3) When the
vehicle has excessive ride control conditions (i.e. nose dive, body roll,
etc.); or
4) When the
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 struts degrade measurably
by 50,000 miles. For many popular-selling vehicles, replacing these worn shocks
and struts can improve the vehicle’s handling characteristics and comfort.
Unlike a tire, which rotates a specific number of times per mile, a shock absorber
or strut may compress and extend several times per mile on a smooth road, or
several hundred times per mile on a very rough road. There are other factors
that affect the life of a shock or strut, such as, regional weather conditions,
amount and type of road contaminates, driving habits, loading of the vehicle,
tire / wheel modifications, and the general mechanical condition of the
suspension and tires.
Why replace worn shocks or struts
Performance
degrades slowly over time. When shocks and struts aren’t controlling the tire
and body movement very well due to wear, all ride control conditions are
affected. Stopping ability will be reduced. The vehicle’s stability, handling
and control abilities all become reduced so the driver will have to compensate
or drive more slowly to maintain control. Tire performance is reduced and
because of excessive movement, all other attached steering & suspension
components are affected.
