Description
This Ex-Japan shock absorber is an authentic Mitsubishi OEM part. For the 2014 Outlander, a vehicle known for its multi-link suspension and AWD capabilities, using genuine Japanese shocks is vital. They are engineered to handle the specific spring rates and weight distribution of the Outlander, which aftermarket generic brands often fail to replicate.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Twin-Tube Gas Design: Utilizes a gas-charged system that reduces “aeration” (oil foaming), ensuring that the suspension remains firm and responsive even during long trips on hot Kenyan roads.
-
Durable Oil Seals: Genuine Japanese seals are designed to withstand high pressure and resist dust ingress, which significantly extends the life of the shock compared to cheap “new” local alternatives.
-
Stable Road Connection: By maintaining consistent tire-to-road contact, these shocks improve braking efficiency and prevent “body roll” when taking sharp corners or avoiding obstacles.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Sourced from Japan’s well-maintained fleet, the housing usually features the original factory coating, protecting it against the rust and structural fatigue common in local “scrap” yard parts.
