NEWSTAR part description

Features and Benefits:

Shock Absorbers control spring movement that assists in keeping your tires in contact with the road. They are critical suspension components that can affect tire wear, braking, comfort of operator and the overall life of other related systems. Shocks should be a part of a routine inspection and tested by a repair technician during maintenance.

Double Lip Oil Seal Design:

  • High wear, impact & pressure resistant
  • Precision controlled Nitrile double lip structure process produces leakproof radial seal better than triple lip
  • Added cushion below guider prevents striking the piston directly & leads to longer product lift.

High Precision Metal Stamping and Tube material:

  • Extra Strength! Quality steel with close tolerances and maximized cross sectional wall thickness. Results in a stable work environment for the piston.

Piston Rod:

  • 42 manufacturing process to produce microcrack free chrome-plated piston rod
  • Tolerance of piston diameter < 0.0004"
  • Hardness held to 45-55 HRC after quench and chromed plating, improving corrosion resistance

Proprietary Valve System:

  • Durable, stable, high quality, patented technology.
  • Piston and compression valve use 2-way structure design, damping force control is better than 1-way valve.
  • Improved stopper assembly provides valve block, plate & throttle slice position more space for adjusting damping force and stability
  • Integrated proprietary powder metal design improve tolerances and impact resistance allowing for superior oil sealing between components and longer life

Carbon Fiber Wear Ring on the Piston Valve:

  • High wear & temperature resistant material.
