Hendrickson shock absorbers are designed and tuned for optimum ride with specific strokes, damping characteristics, seal designs, and bore diameters to enhance theperformance of your suspension system. This contributes to increased steering control, improved braking, greater sensitivity, and better overall performance.
A shock replaced with a non-genuine alternative, can have too long or too short of a stroke than the required by the suspension and can lead to expensive repairs. Toolong of a stroke may allow over extension of the air springs or increasing fatigue on parabolic springs. Alternatively, too short of a stroke can damage mounting brackets
