Construction & Design

The Sway-A-Way shocks are precision-crafted using CNC machining to meet stringent quality and durability standards. The polished nitro steel shafts resist bending and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments. A multi-seal carrier system effectively prevents fluid leaks, maintaining consistent shock performance over extended use. The inclusion of Teflon-lined steel spherical bearings reduces friction and wear, allowing for smooth pivoting and enhanced ride comfort.

Internally, the floating piston design separates the shock oil from nitrogen gas, stabilizing damping characteristics and preventing fade during demanding off-road conditions. This robust construction delivers reliable performance and durability for lifted Jeep applications.
