The Gabriel Ultra Strut is precision-engineered for safety and performance, and it comes equipped with G-Force technology for quicker response, improved product life, and consistent, reliable ride and control. Stable Steer valving provides response from all four corners, and the G-Force piston is bonded iron construction for durability and longer life. By providing a positive seal between the piston and working cylinder, the nitrile leak-proof O-ring piston seal eliminates oil bypass. The orifice disk with variable nine-stage valving provides consistent oil flow while the heavy duty compression head valve withstands extreme impact, greatly reducing internal component failure. Preventing oil blow-by between piston rod and piston, improving operational consistency, is the nitrile rod guide O-ring. Internal nitrogen gas pressure optimizes the relationship between product component and gas pressure, reducing fade and improving vehicle control.
Gabriel ReadyMount Fully Loaded Struts Gabriel ReadyMount Fully Loaded Struts are engineered with top quality parts and undergo numerous tests for quality purposes. Using previous understanding and knowledge of original equipment parts, vehicle design, and performance requirements, Gabriel engineers have tested its ReadyMount Fully Loaded Struts with multiple component and unit tests on a quarter car testing rig.
Tests include a structural rigidity test for cornering and braking quality, a side load compensation test to minimize friction, a limit load test on the rebound springs or the jounce bumper to test compatibility with pothole and high curb strikes, steering tests to ensure bearing durability, coil spring tests to gauge performance and durability, and a durometer test to check the rubber isolators' load resistance. Gabriel uses a MacPherson strut or coilover shock design that has been validated with 1,000,000 cycles with a super-finished chromed piston rod for superior corrosion resistance. Furthermore, Gabriel ReadyMount Fully Loaded Struts have been torn down to certify there is no excessive wear.
Each new ReadyMount design is fit-tested on their respective vehicle to verify that the design can be quickly and smoothly installed. Gabriel technicians also ride-test the ReadyMount designs on US roads to eliminate ride and noise issues. ReadyMount one-piece design is meant to ensure a fast installation without special tools or tools and no chance of missing parts. Gabriel's ReadyMount designs include super-finished chromed piston rod that inhibits rust and corrosion. Each ReadyMount product includes all new components and a premium strut. Struts feature Gabriel's G-Force technology, which is designed to improve tire contact with the road.
