Struts / Shock Absorbers with Fitting Position Rear Axle for Vehicle

Struts and shock absorbers are essential suspension components that control spring movement and keep your 4x4 stable, predictable, and comfortable across changing terrain. By managing compression and rebound, they help maintain tyre contact with the ground, reduce unwanted movement through the suspension, and improve overall vehicle control both on-road and off-road.

Over time, shocks and struts can fade or wear internally, especially on vehicles exposed to corrugations, heavy touring loads, towing, or regular off-road driving. As damping performance drops, you may notice reduced ride comfort, increased vehicle sway, less consistent steering feel, and poorer control on uneven surfaces. This category covers struts and shock absorbers designed to restore performance and enhance capability for real-world 4x4 use.

Why Upgrade Your 4x4 Suspension?

Factory dampers are typically tuned for general use and standard vehicle weight, but once your 4x4 is fitted with accessories, carries constant payload, or spends time off-road, the suspension is working harder than originally intended. In tougher conditions, shocks can overheat and lose damping control, while worn struts can reduce stability and increase harshness through the chassis.

Upgrading struts and shock absorbers is one of the most effective ways to improve ride control and off-road capability. The right damper setup helps the suspension handle weight changes more confidently, improves comfort over rough tracks, and supports better handling during towing and touring.

Struts & Shock Absorbers Range

This category includes struts, shock absorbers, and supporting components designed to improve damping performance, maintain control under load, and support stronger suspension reliability.

The range includes:

Adjustable Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber Kits: Designed for high-performance off-road control with external reservoirs that help manage heat and deliver more consistent damping across harsh terrain.

Camper Trailer / Caravan Shock Absorbers: Built to improve towing stability and control by managing suspension movement under trailer and caravan loads.

Height Adjustable Struts/Shocks: Designed to support ride height adjustment while improving suspension control, ideal for vehicles running accessories or requiring setup flexibility.

ReadyStrut Kits: Supplied as a complete strut assembly to simplify replacement and restore front suspension control, ride height, and steering response.

Shock Absorber Kits: Matched damper kits designed to refresh suspension performance and improve overall stability and comfort.

Strut Bolts: Replacement hardware designed to maintain correct strut mounting security and support reliable suspension alignment under load.

Strut Mount Bushings: Designed to restore correct cushioning and reduce unwanted movement at the strut mount, improving noise control and stability.

Strut Mounts: Replacement mounts designed to secure the strut assembly correctly and support smooth, consistent suspension movement.

Together, these products help improve suspension response, control body movement, and maintain durability across demanding 4x4 conditions.

Why Choose Quality Struts & Shock Absorbers?

Shocks and struts operate under constant stress and heat, and poor-quality dampers can fade quickly, wear prematurely, or struggle under load. When damping control is inconsistent, the suspension can become harsh, unstable, or less predictable, particularly when towing, carrying weight, or travelling at speed on corrugations.

Quality struts and shock absorbers are engineered to deliver consistent damping performance, improved durability, and better heat management. This supports stronger suspension control, improved comfort, and more dependable handling across both on-road and off-road driving.

How Struts & Shock Absorbers Improve Performance

Upgrading struts and shock absorbers improves suspension stability and control by managing spring movement more effectively, especially under load or on rough surfaces.

Key benefits include:

Improved ride comfort and reduced harshness on rough roads

Better handling stability and more predictable steering response

Reduced vehicle sway and improved cornering traction

Increased control when towing or carrying touring loads

More consistent suspension performance on corrugations and off-road terrain

Quality dampers help your 4x4 remain stable and composed in the conditions that challenge factory suspension most.

Who Are Struts & Shock Absorbers For?

Struts and shock absorbers suit 4x4 owners looking to restore suspension control or improve performance for touring, towing, or off-road driving.

This range is ideal for:

Touring vehicles carrying constant payload or accessories

4x4s towing caravans, camper trailers, or heavy loads

Off-road drivers needing improved damping control on rough terrain

Owners replacing worn or faded factory shocks and struts

Vehicles needing improved ride control after suspension or tyre upgrades

If your suspension feels unstable, harsh, or less controlled than it should, upgrading shocks and struts is one of the most effective improvements you can make.
