TRW Bumper Bellows are exact-fit service kits designed to work with TRW premium shocks and struts safeguarding the highly polished piston rod and low friction seal. It is suggested that bumper bellows are replaced with each new shock and strut to defend against environmental elements and cushion the harshest driving conditions.

Product Features:

• TRW durable protective bellows shields the piston rod from damage by stone impact, contaminates, and road salt.
• TRW exact-fit compression bumpers prevent bottoming out and damage to the shock, strut, or suspension.

Designed to restore a vehicle’s original factory drivability and performance, Monroe® OESpectrum® passenger car shock absorbers provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:

• REDUCED NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS — Twin Technology Active Control System delivers exceptional control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness
• EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING — Full displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes while the larger bore provides more efficient damping control to provide consistency and a smooth ride
• CONTROL AND DURABILITY — Fluon-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube for better control and increased durability
• CONSISTENT RIDE — OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
• 1/2 inch Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized rod for long service life. On non-dust shield units only.
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.

Energy Suspension performance bump stops help cushion a collapsing suspension, preventing bottoming-out and expensive vehicle damage. Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane bump stops for control arms, traction bars, leaf springs, etc. are guaranteed to last longer and operate more efficiently than original rubber stops. The smaller, general purpose bullet shaped snubber is ideal for control arms. the low profile button head is for use when clearance is limited. Our large competition race style bump stops smooth out compression better and have a large reinforced metal plate welded to the mounting plate and molded-in. Each style is specially designed for a perfect and custom fit and each style has it’s own durometer, hardness, characteristics. Energy’s wide selection of bump stops are available in red or black color.
