Gas springs
Gas springs for tailgates, boot lids and bonnets. Each reference is defined by its extended length, stroke and eject force, so the replacement holds the lid as the original did.
Gas springs
Why ZEIK
Ride control and tyre contact
A shock absorber controls the movement of the suspension and springs. ZEIK units are charged with nitrogen gas to reduce aeration and foaming, so damping stays consistent and the tyre stays in contact with the road.
Construction details that last
All-weather fluid with friction-reducing modifiers, a hardened chrome-plated piston rod and a seamless end eye ring that retains the gas charge without excessive wear.
One range, three product categories
Shock absorbers and struts, air suspension and gas springs, each catalogued by fitting position for European and Japanese passenger cars and SUVs.
