What This Product Does

These dampers work with the front springs to restrain compression and rebound. Their role is to limit repeated suspension oscillation following road inputs, rather than alter the vehicle's suspension specification.

Functions

• Damp movement at the front suspension.
• Control spring oscillation after bumps.
• Limit unwanted body movement.

Symptoms of Fault

• Repeated bouncing after uneven road surfaces.
• Noticeable pitching when slowing down.
• Oil escaping onto the damper casing.
• Cupping or irregular wear across the tyres.
• Front-end knocks or an unsettled steering feel.

These signs can also originate from tyres, suspension joints, bushes or mounts. Inspect the complete assembly before attributing a fault to the dampers.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewal addresses leakage or deterioration in damping while retaining the specified standard suspension arrangement. Replacing both front units together avoids combining a fresh damper with an older, worn counterpart. Check adjoining mounts and bushes during the work, as new dampers cannot correct looseness elsewhere.
