How to Choose Shock Absorbers for Your Market
Gas versus oil, front versus rear, and how road conditions in your market should shape your stock plan.
Shock absorbers control body movement and keep the tyre in contact with the road. Worn units increase braking distance and cause uneven tyre wear, which is why they are a high-turnover replacement item.
Gas-charged units resist fade under continuous load and suit rough roads and loaded vehicles. Oil types remain popular where price sensitivity is high and driving conditions are moderate.
Always order by position — front and rear differ in length, mounting and damping. Struts and complete assemblies are a different reference again.
In markets with poor road surfaces, plan replacement intervals shorter and stock deeper on the most common local platforms.
