Amazing Gabriel G51477 Ultra Spring Seat


Product Description

The Gabriel Ultra Spring Seat 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.StableSteer 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tacoma 4runner Front Strut, August 16, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Gabriel G51477 Ultra Spring Seat (Misc.)
Used these on both the 4runner and Tacoma and I am very impressed over the stock Bilsteins and Tokicos. Vehicles used to rock side to side and felt very soft(bottomed out easily). These cured the problems and they are also very well made, the lower mount on most units have a set of rubber bushings, these however have a much sturdier more precise semi-rotational heim joint. That is a feature that is usually only found on ultra highend products!!! Way to go Gabriel.

You know I'm like every other shopper out there I reviewed every strut known to man until I turned BLUE in the face to see which struts would be the best for my Tundra. So finally I settled for the Gabriel Ultra's and so far I am pleased with ride and response of my truck. I put the Gabriel Ultra's in my wifes SUV ( Ford Explorer ) to and we love the way our Ford ride and drives so yes I would recommend these struts for a Toyota Tundra and a Ford Explorer. Hope this helps....;-)

I replaced the stock struts on my '05 Sequoia with these since I didn't have a spring compressor I had a shop do it and the alignment at the same time The shop said the spring didn't fully seat on the ring attached to the shock body on one strut, so the spring squeaks a little sometimes The overall value was good and the ride improved greatly I have used Gabriel shocks on 2 other Toyota trucks and put over 80,000 miles on each of them and they still worked good
