Construction & Design

Each shock in the Sway-A-Way kit is 100% designed and built in the USA, reflecting a commitment to quality and precision engineering. The use of CNC-machined components ensures exact fitment and reliability, while the polished nitro steel shaft provides enhanced resistance to bending and corrosion. The multi-seal carrier system prevents fluid leaks, maintaining consistent damping performance over time.

The internal floating piston design separates the shock oil from the nitrogen gas, reducing aeration and improving shock response during demanding off-road conditions. Teflon-lined spherical bearings allow for smooth movement and reduce friction, contributing to a longer service life and improved ride quality.
