The OPTIMAL A-3178G shock absorber is a precision engineered replacement designed to restore factory ride quality and vehicle control. Engineered for consistent damping performance, this shock absorber combines a durable steel body with corrosion resistant finish and high pressure gas charging to minimise foaming and maintain predictable response over varied road conditions. It is manufactured to OE style fitment standards to provide a direct fit for the specified vehicle applications and to simplify installation.

Key attributes include gas charged hydraulic damping, robust steel construction, precision valving for controlled rebound and compression, and a corrosion resistant finish for long service life. The unit is vehicle specific in mounting and length to match original equipment specifications and is supplied ready to fit. Maintenance free by design, it helps reduce body roll, improves stability under braking and cornering, and absorbs road shocks to protect chassis components and improve passenger comfort. Replacement in axle pairs is recommended for balanced handling and even wear. Use our Rego Finder to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
