The ‘Foam Cell’ that makes all the difference is a micro-cellular foam insert that helps to drastically reduce the effects of shock fade, allowing your shocks to perform better for longer, even on the harshest of corrugations. Cavitation and Aeration are the undoing of any shock absorber. As the shock is worked harder, the oil and gas in the outer chamber begins to mix and form bubbles, lowering the viscosity of the oil. When this aerated oil passes through the valve, there is reduced resistance, stopping the shock form performing correctly. The Foam Cell insert, with its trapped gas micro cells takes up the empty space in the shock normally taken up by air or nitrogen gas. This eliminates the possibility of bubbles forming, allowing the shock to get on with the job with an unparalleled resistance to shock fade.
Description:
Nissan Pathfinder
D21 (12/1986–1995)
Released at the same time as the D21 utility, the D21 pathfinder is the SUV version. Designed as an all-purpose vehicle for families and adventurers. The Pathfinder features the same front arrangement as the Navara, but uses a coil spring arrangement in the rear axle to aid in comfort. Tough Dog offer coils that can improve the standard ride quality, as well as coils to improve the load carrying characteristics of the Pathfinder.

Torsion Bars:
Tough Dog Performance 4WD Torsion Bars offer a spring rate that is approximately 30% higher than OEM bars.
This dynamic increase in spring rate eliminates hard bottoming out when travelling off road and gives better handling in street applications. They can be installed with a moderate pre-load to raise the vehicle for better clearance off road, or to revitalise the handling characteristics at the standard height. These performance-proven, easy-to-install bars are especially beneficial when oversize tyres or frontal accessories are installed. Regardless of the torsion bar used, or the accessories fitted, a minimum 60mm of suspension droop (down travel) must be maintained.
Optimise your 4WD’s ride & handling characteristics with quality torsion bars from ToughDog!
Coil Springs:
Tough Dog coil springs are designed and manufactured in Australia to exacting standards to stand up to some of the harshest conditions found anywhere in the world.
Made from German X5K spring steel, our coils can be designed with less material while maintaining superior ride quality & load carrying characteristics. The spring retains its original memory even after heavy loading. The result? A lighter, tougher coil that can handle just about anything you can throw at it.
