- Polyurethane Rebound Bumper and Rubber Bushings: Help absorb ride harshness for a smoother driving experience.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Reduces initial impacts at low speeds to minimize rough ride sensations.
- Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized to 60 PSI to reduce damping fade and foaming for sustained shock performance.

Construction & Design:
The RS5000X front strut is built with durability and performance in mind. Its nitro-carburized piston rod offers superior resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. The strut’s piston is crafted from sintered iron tailored to the specific vehicle application, providing enhanced strength and precise control of shock motion. Protective polyvinyl boots shield critical components from dirt and debris, while the twin-tube design filled with all-weather fluid maintains optimal operating temperatures and consistent damping characteristics.
Attention to detail in welding and material selection results in a robust suspension component that withstands the rigors of both daily driving and off-road adventures.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
