Description of ACDelco 520 398 Advantage Charged Absorber

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.

Excellent Shock Absorber for Automotive Suspension

Based on my experience this shock absorber is an outstanding addition to any automotive suspension system. It provides a smooth and comfortable ride while maintaining control and stability on the road .The durable construction ensures long-lasting performance, and the installation process is quick and easy. The only downside is that it may not be suitable for heavy-duty vehicles, but overall, this product is an excellent choice for any driver looking to upgrade their suspension..

Pros
  • Excellent shock-absorbing performance, providing a smooth and comfortable ride.
Cons
  • Possible compatibility issues with certain vehicle models.

Disappointing Performance Struts.

Based on my EXPERIENCE in the automotive industry, these struts fail to deliver a smooth ride and provide poor handling on the road. The pros of this product are limited as they offer no significant upgrade in performance .The cons are numerous including excessive noise and premature wear and tear. Overall, I would not recommend this product for anyone in need of high-quality struts and suspension..

Pros
  • Effective in absorbing shocks and vibrations, providing a comfortable ride.
Cons
  • May wear out faster than more expensive shock absorbers due to their lower cost materials and construction.

Happy with purchase

I am happy with these shock absorbers. They will fit properly even if they are larger in diameter (usually for replacement shocks) than the shocks they replaced. The replacement is quite easy if you slightly lift the lower wishbone. Shipping cost is $3 less than Rock Auto.

Pros
  • O-ring provides constant pressure on the inner tube making the valve less susceptible to dirt, wear and fatigue resulting in longer life
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
