Product Information
Suspension Strut Assembly
If your ride feels a little bouncy or you can feel clunks in the suspension while it's going over bumps it is likely due to worn strut assemblies and shock absorbers. The purpose of the strut assembly is it acts as a central pivot point for the front suspension while housing the coil spring. It also dampens the compression and rebound of the coil spring as the suspension moves up and down. When replacing suspension components it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs.
Suspension Strut Assembly Failure Symptoms
- Noise from rear end over bumps
- Abnormal tire wear
- Vehicle wandering while driving
- Poor Steering response
- Poor Handling
- Harsh ride
A suspension strut cartridge is the internal shock-absorbing component housed within a strut assembly. It controls suspension movement by dampening the up-and-down motion of the springs, ensuring stability, comfort, and proper tire contact with the road. In some vehicles, the cartridge can be replaced separately without changing the entire strut housing.
Suspension Strut Cartridge Failure Symptoms- Excessive bouncing or poor ride comfort, as the cartridge can no longer dampen spring movement effectively.
- Nose-diving or body roll, especially during braking or cornering, due to weakened damping control.
- Fluid leaks or clunking noises, indicating internal seal failure or worn-out cartridge components.
About Sachs
ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
Sachs is a trusted brand of the ZF family, which includes Lemforder, TRW, Boge, Stabilus, ZF parts and Sachs Performance.
