Description of Enhanced Gas Charged Front 🔧 Shock Absorber - ACDelco Advantage 520-179

super-finished chromed piston rod inhibits corrosion and provides a more consistent wear surface. piston seal adjusts as it wears to maintain a tight seal between the piston and pressure tube. this minimizes leak paths for a longer, more consistent, product life. o-ring provides constant pressure to the inner tube and makes the valve less susceptible to dirt, wear, and fatigue leading to longer service life. drawn over mandrel (dom) pressure cylinder for a smoother surface and less resistance, resulting in increased service life. Fit type: Vehicle Specific.

Incorrect fastening nuts.

Not a bad shock. The only problem is as others have mentioned. The mother is wrong. I had to go to the hardware store to find the right nut. I don't know why this issue isn't fixed with the same complaints that other buyers are complaining about.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • So far so good

Beats are ok, quality control is not great.

The shocks are fine, but as several other reviewers have pointed out, the manufacturer needs to clean up the threads that compress them as they lengthen the upper. Currently, if you try to install them before using a punch or tap, you're going to have a long day.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Crumpled

ACDelco 520-179 Advantage Front Gas Shocks

So far so good, got about 1000 miles on it. I had an issue with threads on one of them when I installed it. The nut that goes on top of the stem had the threads mixed up and when I started this I used a small 1/4 inch punch to knock them off, pins to say it took an extra hour has to fasten the threads in the nut. and had to file the top threads of the stem to install it. That's why I find two starting rankings more and more often when I order things online. Make sure you verify your details…

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
