Shock Absorbers

Genuine Toyota Shock Absorbers are specifically designed for each model, which helps to optimise performance. Since many non-genuine shock absorbers are designed to fit a variety of cars, they fail to enhance performance. The result is rough, noisy driving.

Genuine Toyota Shock Absorbers include Teflon® processed piston bands and piston rods which are galvanised with hard chrome or bearings. These long-lasting parts work smoothly to reduce noise and abrasion and make driving more comfortable. Since many non-genuine shock absorbers are not Teflon® processed or galvanised, they wear out faster and may cause rough driving.

Genuine Toyota Shock Absorbers are highly rust-resistant. Cylinders have special coatings and spring sheets are made from corrosion resistant steel with a cation-coated surface.

All Genuine Toyota Shock Absorbers include bushings. Although some non-genuine shock absorbers also include bushings, they are often designed to fit a variety of housings. If they fail to fit perfectly, you may experience noisy, uncomfortable driving.
