How to choose the right LADA OFF-ROAD DAMPER?

Selecting the right shock absorber for different Lada SUV models requires considering multiple factors, including the vehicle's suspension system, the environment in which it is used, the driving style, and the performance characteristics of the shock absorber. Here are some key steps and considerations to help you choose the right shock absorber for different Lada SUV models:

1. Understand the different models of Lada SUVs
The most common models in the Lada SUV series are the Lada Niva and Lada 4x4. Each car has a different suspension system, vehicle weight, chassis structure and off-road capabilities, so shock absorbers need to be selected for different models.

Lada Niva: This car is mainly characterized by its light four-wheel drive and small body size, which is suitable for light off-roading.

Lada 4x4: Usually has stronger off-road capabilities and a heavier body, so stronger shock absorbers are needed.

2. Consider the type of suspension system
Lada's SUVs usually use independent front suspension and non-independent rear suspension (or beam rear suspension). Different types of suspension systems will affect the choice of shock absorbers:

Independent front suspension: requires more sophisticated shock absorbers to ensure a smooth driving experience.

Beam rear suspension: usually withstands greater impact, it is more appropriate to choose a more durable and pressure-resistant shock absorber.

3. Choose according to the driving environment
When choosing shock absorbers, you must consider your main driving environment. Lada off-road vehicles are often used in harsh environments such as rugged roads, muddy terrain or deserts, and the shock absorbers need to have sufficient durability and impact resistance.

City and light off-road: If the vehicle is mainly used for city driving or light off-road, standard hydraulic shock absorbers or gas shock absorbers are usually sufficient.

Heavy off-road: If you often do heavy off-road driving, such as desert, rock or mud terrain, it would be more appropriate to choose gas shock absorbers or adjustable shock absorbers that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and have better oil and gas isolation.

4. Choose the right type of shock absorber
Twin shock absorbers: suitable for ordinary off-road use, usually with good comfort and stability, suitable for light off-road vehicles.
Monoshock absorbers: Suitable for more intense off-road driving, usually provide stronger control and better durability, suitable for heavy off-road vehicles.
Adjustable shock absorbers: If you often drive on different terrains, you can choose adjustable shock absorbers, which allow the hardness to be adjusted according to road conditions and load conditions, thereby providing better comfort and performance.

5. Check the load and load capacity
Different Lada off-road vehicles may have different load standards, especially when you add off-road accessories to the vehicle (such as luggage racks, wire ropes, trailer hooks, etc.), the load capacity of the shock absorbers also needs to be adjusted.

Light load: For standard off-road vehicles without too many accessories, standard shock absorbers can be selected.
Heavy load: If you often go off-road with heavier loads, you may need to choose more powerful shock absorbers, especially reinforced or high-performance shock absorbers.

6. Consider the adjustment function of the shock absorber
Fixed shock absorbers: This is the most common type of shock absorber and is suitable for regular driving needs. The disadvantage is that it cannot be adjusted according to different terrains.
Adjustable shock absorber: This type of shock absorber is suitable for off-road vehicles that need to adjust the hardness according to different terrains. It can provide higher comfort and stability, and is especially suitable for drivers who frequently cross uneven ground.
