Lift Up
Standard ride height for 4x4 DAMPER GRAVEL 1 is set at 40mm (approx. 1.5in) higher than the original, to secure sufficient road clearance to accommodate various driving scenes from streets to off-roading.
4x4 DAMPER GRAVEL 1 is also designed for and configured to be most suitable for the lifted height. Instead of simply raising the standard height, which can lead to insufficient stroke imparing the stability, 4x4 DAMPER GRAVEL 1 is tested on each vehicle models to optimize the dimensions and settings, in order to ensure sufficient strokes and to enable the best suitable alignment.
External Reservoir & 2-Way Damping Force Adjustable
Use of reservoir tank allows for larger oil capacity and improved thermal dissipation, enabling the generation of stable linear damping force.
Adjustability of compression and rebound damping force individually in 16 levels each allows for wider adjustable rance and comes in very useful in responding to ever-changing road conditions.
Hydraulic Rebound Stopper (HRBS)
* HRBS is not available on some models with mono-tube structure.
HRBS helps to improve maneuverability for off-road driving.
Shock absorbers tend to get fully extended while running off road and that could cause enormous impacts, just like when compressed, possibly leading to unstable movements and/or noise problems.
4x4 DAMPER GRAVEL 1, equipped with HRBS, internally converts the impact of the stroke to thermal energy (heat) and absorb it, greatly reducing the impact that disturbs the vehicle's behavior. With less damage to shock absorbers, HRBS also contributes to superior durability.
Thread-Type Ride Height Adjustment
The ride height can be adjusted by moving the spring seat up or down. Characteristic of this system are its simple structure and ease of use.
Mount Included
An easy-to-install mount, exclusively designed for each vehicle model, is included in the product kit.
For some models which do not have mount plates, original mounts are used.
Twin-Tube System
* Mono-tube structure is adopted for some vehicle models.
Compared to the regular mono-tube system, twin-tube attains longer strokes with a smaller repulsive force, resulting in high ride comfort.
Various roads with different conditions call for highly-durable shock absorbers with ample stroke, that operate smoothly.
Thanks to flexible strokes, you can negotiate gaps and bumps steadily on rough roads, meaning a smooth ride at low speed and stability at high speed.
Mono-tube structure, used on some models, adopts highly-rigid "Upright Strong Tube" structure, the fruit of participation in professional motorsports worldwide such as WRC & WRX.
Overhaul/Revalving Available
Like most TEIN shock absorbers, 4x4 DAMPER GRAVEL 1 can be overhauled to restore its original performance.
At the time of overhaul, we also offer revalving service: you can have the damping force setup updated to suit your preferences.
Our after-sales service adds to the joy of using our products.
High Durability and Reliability
No-Sag Spring
Cold formed with SAE9254 steel (minimum tensile strength 200 kgf/mm2), our springs are outstandingly sag-proof and boast extremely stable quality.
Superior rust protection is ensured with a highly durable powder coating that does not peel or flake. Our high-quality springs can be used without worries, in any conditions.
High-Performance Damper Oil
Since TEIN's damper oil maintains a stable viscosity in a broad temperature range, it sustains smooth strokes and reliable damping force in a variety of circumstances.
Due to excellent anti-foaming properties, it's resistant to cavitation (bubble forming). Since it's strong against heat too, it's suitable for fierce sport driving as well.
Furthermore, the damper oil keeps up its superior performance long-term, because it's resistant to deterioration over time.
Vehicle-Specific Fittings
Tank Bracket
Anchoring brackets for reservoirs, specially designed for each vehicle model, are included for ease of installation.
