  • To ensure a smooth, comfortable ride
  • To ensure brake efficiency
  • To enhance steering capability
  • To prevent damage to other vehicle components

Advantages of "kantan kashime" (roll-closure sealing system)

  • Prevents gas leaks
  • Exceptionally smooth operation
  • Increases durability

Comparison between oil-type and gas-type shock absorbers

Oil Type Gas Type
  • Metered air chamber
  • For normal driving
  • Emphasises comfort
  • For town use and short-distance driving
  • Uses oil
  • Not sensitive to temperature changes
  • For sports driving
  • Ideal for irregular road conditions
  • For long-distance driving
  • Uses oil and gas

Safety Tips

  • When stationary:
    • Your tyres show evidence of uneven tread wear upon further inspection.
    • Your car continues rocking freely after you have put your hands on the bonnet to rock it several times.
    • You find external damage on the shocks such as on the outer casing, rod-bending oil leakage, damaged bushes and washers, etc. If fluid is leaking from the shock absorber's seal, it means that the shock is worn out.

  • When driving:
    • Your car bottoms out when you drive on bad roads, over railroad tracks or other humps and bumps.
    • Your car tends to drift or bounce, or you experience a loss in handling control. The vehicle may show unstable behaviour such as excessive roll during cornering, pitching, bouncing, squatting, nosediving and so on.
    • You hear strange or unfamiliar sounds from the shocks.

  • Worn-out shocks will cause:
    • Excessive shaking on unpaved roads
    • Unstable rides at high speeds
    • Too much pitching
    • Excessive nosedives and squats during acceleration and braking
    • Longer stopping distances
    • Bouncing tyres on bumpy roads
    • Wearing out of the tyre's shoulder
    • Increased fuel consumption
