Shocks, Struts & Components

Shocks, struts, and their components are essential parts of a vehicle's suspension system, working together to absorb and dampen the impact of road irregularities, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Shock absorbers are designed to absorb the energy created by the springs, helping to minimize the bouncing motion of the vehicle and prevent excessive wear on other suspension components. Coilover shock absorber kits combine a coil spring and shock absorber into a single unit, offering adjustable height and damping settings for improved ride quality and handling. These kits are popular for performance vehicles or custom builds where precise control over suspension characteristics is desired.


In addition to the core shock and strut components, various shock absorber miscellaneous components, such as shock boots, shock mounts, and brackets, provide additional protection and mounting solutions. Shock boots help protect the shock absorber from dirt, debris, and moisture, extending its lifespan. Shock mounts and brackets ensure proper attachment and alignment of the shocks within the suspension system, contributing to the overall stability and performance of the vehicle. Suspension struts, which combine both shock absorption and structural support, are commonly found in vehicles with independent front suspension systems. They help stabilize the vehicle’s alignment and provide effective shock absorption, ensuring better handling and comfort.


Suspension strut miscellaneous components are also important for maintaining the performance and integrity of the strut assembly. These components may include mounting kits, bushings, and hardware that ensure proper fitment and smooth operation. Whether you’re upgrading to performance-oriented coilover kits or replacing worn-out shock absorbers and struts, these components work together to maintain optimal ride quality, handling, and safety.
