- Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve guard against bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360°
- PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between rod and rod guide, and the nitrocarburized piston rod adds durability on most applications
- Magnum Severe Service line: nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and shock fade to keep tire-to-road contact

A worn strut can show up as a bouncy ride, fluid on the strut body or a knock over bumps. Those signs on their own do not prove the strut is at fault, since an out-of-balance tire can also make the ride feel rough.
