1. Key Features of Our 14.6″ Rear Suspension Damper

  • Precision Engineering: Optimized for ATVs, motorcycles, and UTVs (fits most major brands).

  • Heavy-Duty Spring: Ensures load-bearing capacity and reduces vibration.

  • Adjustable Damping: Customizable stiffness for off-road, racing, or leisure use.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Extends lifespan in harsh environments.


2. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Tools Required:

  • Socket wrench set

  • Jack stands

  • Lubricant (for bushings)

  • Torque wrench

Installation Steps:

  1. Safety First: Lift the vehicle securely using jack stands.

  2. Remove Old Damper: Unbolt the existing suspension unit (note the mounting positions).

  3. Prepare New Damper: Check for damage; lubricate bushings if needed.

  4. Mount the Damper: Align with the frame and axle mounts, then hand-tighten bolts.

  5. Torque to Spec: Tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended torque (prevents overloading).

  6. Test & Adjust: Lower the vehicle, test compression, and adjust damping settings if applicable.

Pro Tip for Shops/Clubs: Keep a pre-installation checklist to avoid returns—verify compatibility and inspect for shipping damage before sale.


3. Maintenance Tips for Longevity

  • Monthly Inspection: Check for oil leaks, spring fatigue, or rust.

  • Clean Regularly: Use mild soap/water to remove mud/debris (avoid high-pressure sprays near seals).

  • Lubricate Bushings: Apply silicone grease every 3-6 months to reduce friction.

  • Storage Advice: For clubs/rentals, store ATVs with suspension unloaded to prevent spring sag.


4. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Excessive Bouncing Worn-out damping oil Replace or service damper
Squeaking Noise Dry bushings Lubricate with silicone spray
Uneven Suspension Misaligned mounting Reinstall and torque evenly
