Item specifics
Description:
Classic autoparts only sell 100% brand new products in good condition. We do not sell any refurbished or refurbished parts.
Our product includes all the components required for strut replacement in a single, fully assembled unit and is ready to install. The Complete Assembly unit is easier and faster to install than traditional struts. It is safer because we don’t need to compress coil springs.
Fitment:
2006-2008 Honda Pilot FWD
Note: Please check the Compatibility List on the listing page to make sure your exact model is included.
Shocks and Struts Features & Benefits:
✔ Made to OE quality standards and performance.
✔ High corrosion resistance and long service life. Steel rod is mirco-polished with double chrome plate.
✔ Newer Valving technology operates in stages based on the velocity of the car.
✔ Use Teflon bonded piston seal to keep friction down and temperature cooler so that valving stays firmer.
✔ All-around welding on the spring seat.
✔ Piston seal is provided by an OE Supplier.
Each complete strut & spring assembly consists of:
✔ Spring holder
✔ Strut
✔ Lower spring isolator
✔ Boot kit
✔ Bumper
✔ Coil spring
✔ Upper strut mount
✔ Upper spring seat
About Complete Struts w/Spring Assembly Suspension Work:
✔ Shock absorbers use a piston and hydraulic fluid to create resistance against the up-and-down movement of your vehicle as it goes over various bumps on the road.
✔ Leaking shocks are caused by a damaged piston shaft, bad shock seals, worn chrome coating, oil mist residue, and regular wear and tear.
✔ A suspension leak will lead to a bumpy ride for you on the road and can even compromise your safety.
The Causes Behind Leaking Shocks:
If your shocks are leaking fluid, they could be less efficient at both dampening jolts and heat dissipation.
Pro Tip: Shocks can fail internally but never leak externally. Failed shocks don’t dampen spring oscillations.
This means that when you go over a bump, the end of the vehicle with failed shocks will continue to bounce rather than just go over the bump like it should.
Generally, if there’s a leak, you’ll notice decreased performance in your shocks, leading to a bumpier ride, unusual noises, irregular tire wear, and reduced handling and braking ability. Alternatively, you might be mistaking natural shock operations for a leak.
The following are some causes that can lead to your shocks leaking, whether as a result of damage or as part of their shock-absorbing process:
✔ Oil Mist Residue
Oil mist residue is a perfectly natural part of your shocks operating as designed. It mostly appears on very dry shocks because you won’t notice it otherwise. Oil mist occurs when the piston rod spreads a very small amount of oil from the cylinder onto the seal. The rod appears damp, but it won’t feel wet if you touch it.
However, if you see oil mist that is coming from inside the shock, you can’t add oil. In this case, you must replace the shock and it’s best to replace them in pairs (both front or both rear).
✔ Damaged Piston Shaft
A damaged shaft can lead to leaking shock fluid. When the shaft has scratches or other damage, it can tear the seal, which leads to oil loss and reduced performance. These scratches and dents can come from flying pieces of debris scratching the surface or from the shaft being improperly installed.
✔ Bad Shock Seals
Shock seals block the inside of your shocks from the dirt and grime of the outside world. Over time, seals may become brittle and get torn easily. Rocks, gravel, and other debris can also damage your shock seals, leading to an eventual leak.
✔ Worn Chrome Coating
Your car shocks might be leaking because the coating on one of the piston rods is worn down. If the damper isn’t aligned properly, the coating is rubbed away. The shock seal and piston rod guide then sustain more damage as the misaligned damper continues to operate. Once these parts wear down, the shocks will leak
✔ Wear and Tear
General wear and tear will eventually lead to front and rear leaking shocks. Your shocks go through a lot of abuse and will eventually leak and need replacing.
The Package Include:
✔ Front Pair Quick Complete Shocks Strut & Springs Assemblies
