Tough Dog Shock Absorbers


As one of the most important components in the suspension system, shock absorbers are designed to cushion the impact of bumps and harsh irregularities in challenging terrain.

Manufactured using the highest quality materials, Tough Dog shock absorbers work in conjunction with other suspension components, such as springs and bars. The shock absorbers work with springs to dampen some shock from each bump from being transmitted to the vehicle's body, in turn providing a smoother and more balanced driving experience.

How do Tough Dog shocks work?

Shock absorbers work by controlling the movement of the suspension and absorbing the energy of bumps and other disturbances on the road. They do this by slowing down the suspension's movement and preventing it from bouncing. This keeps the wheels in contact with the road, providing better traction and control.

What kind of shock absorbers do I need?

The type of shock absorber you need is based on the make and model of your vehicle. Not just this, but your decision will also be impacted by whether you are after front or rear shocks. As experts in the industry, at Tough Dog Dealer, we will assist you in making your decision, providing you with the expert support and guidance you need to make the right decision. So regardless of if you are in need of Tough Dog front shocks or Tough Dog rear shocks, look no further.

Are Tough Dog shock absorbers adjustable?

Tough Dog shock absorbers are adjustable, meaning you can easily change the damping force to suit different driving conditions. The adjustment process is simple, with a knob on the top of the shock absorber that can be turned by hand to select the desired setting. So if you are looking for adjustable shock absorbers to optimise your suspension system, Tough Dog’s adjustable shocks may be precisely what you need.

How often should I replace shock absorbers?

Generally, it is recommended to replace absorbers every 50,000 to 100,00 kilometres or every five years, whichever comes first. However, the lifespan of shock absorbers can vary depending on several factors, such as driving conditions, road quality, and vehicle weight. If you suspect your shock absorbers may be worn out, contact our friendly team, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Can I still drive with worn-out shock absorbers?

Driving with worn-out shock absorbers can make for a very rocky and uncomfortable journey. Not just this, but driving with worn-out shock absorbers can also lead to further damage to other components of your vehicle's suspension system, which can result in more expensive repairs down the line.

Thereby, it is recommended by experts in the field that if you notice your shock absorbers are showing signs of wear and tear that you replace them as soon as you can.
