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.
