Introductions:

Absorber is mainly used to suppress the shock and impact from the road after suction rebound. This Iron Shock Absorber is doing well in this field. In the most of car suspension system with shock absorbers, to accelerate the frame and body vibration attenuation, and improve the riding comfort of cars. It can also protect you safety from injured. The quality of it is very good, so you don't worry about to change it. Why not take a try for it?

 

 

Features:

1. It is made of iron material that does not contain any ordinary rubber

2. Endure high and low temperature, large temperature difference, high vacuum, strong radiation and corrosive environment.

3. High bearing capacity and the resistance to fatigue, aging, service life and long storage time.

4. Its performance index is can be designed

5. Can meet the damping, vibration, sealing, filter, throttle and acoustic noise reduction requirements

 

 

FEATURES:

• Ready To Install: It complete struts assembly includes all the components required for a strut replacement in a single. No Spring Compressor Required! Save you 70% of installation time 
• Recover 100% Performance: Worn out struts add 20% to the vehicle’s stopping distance. after replacing KAX struts assembly, shorten the braking distance, and increase the safety distance. Improve steering response, reduce stopping distance and give you more confidence in driving 
• Increase Tire Grip: By increasing the spring stiffness coefficient, the rapid vibration of the wheel is suppressed, the tire is prevented from leaving the road, and the exercise stability is improved 
• Bounce Reduction: Damping rods reduce body vibration and bounce by generating resistance through the flow of fluid to absorb or slow down the direct impact of energy​

How to Install:

 

Step 1: Before You Lift the Vehicle, Loosen Lug Nuts One Full Turn.

Step 2: Jack up Vehicle and Use Jack Stands for Safety & Remove the Tire from the Rotor.

Step 3: (Wheel Alignment Is Necessary After Strut Replacement.) Marking the Position of All the Bolts Will Help Keep the Alignment Close to Original and save Time Aligning. Use a Colored Pencil to Mark the Old Strut on the Bolt.

Step 4: Use Penetrating Oil (Such As Wd40) to Coat Any Rusted Fasteners, Let Soak for Approximately 1 Hour.

Step 5: (Optional) While Waiting for Oil to Soak, Take This Time to Inspect All Other Components That May Need Replacement (Brake Pads, Rotors, Brake Hoses, Ball Joints, Cv Boots, Tie Rod Ends, Bushings, Sway Bars, Etc).

Step 6: Remove Any Brake Line or Wire Attachments from the Strut Body. Do Not Disconnect Brake Lines (If Possible)! Opening Brake Lines Will Require Bleeding of the Brake System.
Use Extreme Caution When Removing Brake Lines from Your Struts, As Any Damage to Your Brake Line Can Result in Expensive and Time Consuming Repairs.

Step 7: Remove Sway bar Attached to the Strut Assembly or Control Arm.

Step 8: Remove the Tie Rod (Only If It Attached to the Body of the Strut, If Not Leave It Attached to the Steering Knuckle).

Step 9: Remove the Strut to Knuckle Bolts at the Bottom of the Strut. on some Vehicles, the Brake Caliper and Rotor May Need to Be Removed to Gain Access.

Step 10: Remove the Upper Mounting Plate Bolts Located in the Engine or Trunk Compartment. Do Not Remove the Center Retaining Nut! It Is Not Safe to Unload the Spring from the Assembly in This Position.

Step 11: Carefully Remove the Old Strut Assembly from the Vehicle. Be Very Cautious Not to Let the Strut "Drop" down on Your Brake Line, Rotor or Drum.

Step 12: Install the New Complete Strut Assembly in the Reverse Order As Above (Steps 11-6). Using an Anti-seize Compound on All Fasteners Is Suggested.

Step 13: Carefully Double Check Your Work and Make Sure Everything Is Tightened to Manufacturers Torque Specifications.

Step 14: Replace the Tire the Rotor and Tighten to Manufacturers Torque Specifications.

Step 15: Slowly Lower the Vehicle down After Removing the Jack Stands. Pay Very Close Attention to Any Odd Sounds When the Vehicle Is Lowered Onto the New Complete Strut Assemblies.

Step 16: It Is Very Important That You Immediately "Road Test" Your Vehicle Right Away to Ensure That Installation Was Done Properly. Listen and Feel for Common Signs of Incorrect Installation While Driving Slowly over Speed Bumps, Rough Road or Potholes.
