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
R51 (11/2005 On) / 3.0L V6 / BULLBAR + WINCH
Based on a similar design to the D40 Navara, the D40 and R51 Pathfinder share similar body lines and similar parts in the front suspension. The R51 was treated with the same 3.0L V6 powerplant that the D40 received, and as a result brought new levels of power and comfort to the compact SUV market. The R51 was also the first of the Pathfinder range to use an independent suspension setup at the rear of the vehicle. This change gave the pathfinder car-like handling without significant detriment to the off-road capability of the vehicle.
