Shock absorbers SS20. Shock Absorbers for VAZ

To the question: "A car is a luxury or a means of transportation?" - there are at least three answers. Someone will choose the first option, someone second, and some - both at once. And the truth, as usual, is somewhere nearby. In fact, cars are very different in value and in functionality. In this case, even in the budget "Lada" you can move with comfort. One of the components of this convenience is a good suspension, in which the car carries the passengers gently and smoothly. One of the main elements of this suspension is a quality shock absorber.

SS20 shock absorbers are a modernized analog for standard car suspension parts. In this article, the features of such parts, their advantages and disadvantages, applicability, completeness and cunning of the installation will be considered. And first, let's remember what they represent and how they work.

Likbez: suspension shock absorbers

So, what are shock absorbers for? Of course, for depreciation. The fact is that when the main elements of the suspension - springs or springs - are working, extinguishing the roughness of the road surface, their vibrations are transmitted to the car, and the wheels can lose their adhesion to the surface. Shock absorbers just serve to protect against such suspension oscillations and to maintain good traction of the wheels with the road.

The role of each shock absorber is equally important, since a hummock can meet anywhere. At the same time, they constantly work in pairs. First, at the moment of acceleration, when the car squats slightly on the rear, and the front wheels, on the contrary, rise. The stronger the engine, the more this phenomenon looks more noticeable. Secondly, at the moment of braking, when the reverse picture occurs, and the car squats forward.

The quality of the shock absorber is affected by many factors. The main ones are:

* Design and type;

* Temperature regime;

* Location relative to the wheels;

* Driving style.

SS20 Features

Shock absorbers of this brand are often asked in auto shops. The company "System of Technologies", which produces this product, completes the spare parts only with its own developments. The main requirements for any shock absorbers are quality and reliability, and in this case also the main role is played by:

- increased tensile strength;

- the highest quality of products;

- Noiseless operation;

- Two-year warranty without mileage restrictions;

- the choice of 4 categories;

- Own patented developments.

Thanks to the choice of the "Standard", "Comfort", "Highway" and "Sport" series, the SS20 shock absorbers are available to motorists with different driving styles. Another feature is the applicability of products for domestic cars. This is primarily the VAZ, then UAZ and GAZ. Among foreign cars - so far only Daewoo Nexia, Zaz Sens, Chevrolet Lanos, Zaz Chance and Hyundai Solaris.

About the manufacturer

The SS20 brand, shock absorbers for different models of cars, is produced by the Russian research and production enterprise Sistema tekhnologii. Despite a fairly young age, and it has been working since 1993, the company has enough achievements. It all started with the desire to improve the factory's proposed standard suspension parts. The first swallow was the support of the front shock absorber on the VAZ. After went other developments. Today, almost all suspension elements have been produced: shock absorbers, supports to them, bumpers, bearing bearings, pillar supports, vibration and noise isolators on spring cups.

Every new development the company patents. Among the most famous - shock absorber piston with a "skirt". For cars "Niva-Chevrolet", UAZ and GAZ, shock absorbers with an enlarged cylinder are used, which allows increasing the internal volume of oil. At the same time, the heat transfer area also increases, which means that the liquid will serve even longer without loss of quality.

The company actively participates in the social and scientific life of the society, supplying its achievements in testing to the harsh conditions of racing competitions. After the observations, the products are refined and amplified. SS20 (shock absorbers) have practically no weak points. At the same time, the company is open for cooperation and is constantly looking for new technical solutions for car suspension.

Varieties and applications

The main emphasis in the production of SS20 is made on the domestic manufacturer. Shock absorbers on the VAZ are in priority. The lineup includes:

* Shock absorbers for classics and "Niva Chevrolet";

* Products for VAZ 2108-2115;

* Struts shock absorbers for "Kalina", "Prioru" and "Grant".

In this case, each subspecies is made in four variants from "Standard" to "Sport". The internal classification of the SS20 is different, and the article, for example, of the front shock absorber on the "Prioru" in the standard version will be SS20117.

Under UAZ cars there are also variants with a classic, but more reliable quality, and sports. Do not forget cars UAZ brands "Patriot" and UAZ "Hunter". Shock absorber SS20 on UAZ in standard version has an increased resource and quality of elite assembly on a glass of increased diameter.

For cars GAZ SS20 only begins to apply. The range of shock absorbers is presented only in the "Comfort" version. In this case, the product also uses a patented piston with a "skirt" and an increased body size.

For some cars, SS20 shock absorbers have also been designed and manufactured, the reviews are already encouraging. These are the rear shock absorbers for Solaris, as well as Nexia and its relatives ZAZ Sens and Chevrolet Lanos.

Reviews of car owners

Considering the feedback of the owners of the SS20, the new generation of shock absorbers, which are in constant demand, we see two main points. First, some of the respondents praise the products, in no way proving it. Another point is that the negative feedback is mainly related to the error in the selection. An ordinary situation, when a person who wants a steep sports suspension, gets super-hard shock absorbers, which feels every stone of the pavement.

The most interesting are the reviews with real observations about how many SS20 front shock absorbers are running, what has changed in the kit, what roads the "pumped" car drives, etc. It is initially understood that more durable products will be somewhat stiffer and will have to pay for it Part of comfort. This moment is very similar to the story of polyurethane. Replacing soft rubber with a durable polyurethane, you get a long service life of products, but a more rigid suspension.

Positive moments

What are good shock absorbers from the company "System of Technology"? There are many positive moments. The advantages of SS20 are best seen by those who know exactly what they need for it. Especially in cases when native factory shock absorbers for some reason do not suit.

Among the favorable moments, it should be noted:

* Increased service life: under the same conditions, the shock absorbers of the rear suspension SS20, for example, pass much longer than their native counterparts;

* Guaranteed quality of products, despite total control, a small percentage of products may have shortcomings - a guaranteed replacement is provided for this;

* Noiselessness of shock absorbers;

* The ability to choose a specific product version; Someone prefers small tuning and soft quiet movement, and someone needs speed and maximum controllability;

* Use of high-quality materials and liquids.

What may not like

The main drawback of SS20 shock absorbers is related to their durability. To have a large margin of safety, they use high-quality wear-resistant materials. And this very often increases the rigidity in the suspension. Among the 4 branded SS20 versions, the most interesting are the first and the last. In the first case, we simply get an improved version of the native factory analog, which is the most preferable for domestic roads.

The sports variant is suitable for cars participating in races on ideal road surfaces. The shock absorbers SS20 "Comfort" and "Track" because of the desire to create a compromise between controllability and real comfort lose somewhat, although they too find their admirers.

Scope of shock absorbers SS20

In order to get a real effect from the replacement of the shock absorber to the advanced version of the SS20, it is not enough to put only it. No, the effect of the replacement, of course, will be, but if you really tackle and still disassemble this node, it is better to make a complete replacement.

The complete replacement kit includes:

- strut;

- Support;

- spring;

- bumpers;

- anther;

- necessary noise isolators.

For models VAZ 2108 and 2110 there are ready-made SS20 modules for the front suspension, which include all of the above components. Each element of the module has its own guarantee. It is also possible to pick up the kit in any performance, from "Standard" to "Sport". Advantages of the SS20 module - in the balance of the selected elements of the kit and in a lightweight installation on the car.

Shock Absorbers for VAZ

For the domestic car manufacturer of Togliatti Automobile Plant "VAZ" the largest line of SS20 products is provided. Shock absorbers are carefully designed for each model. Not ignored by the classical VAZ, nor the 4X4 model. Of course, there is a complete set for "Priora", "Kalina" and "Grants". Preparations for the production of options for "Vesta" and "X-Ray."

It should be noted that all shock absorbers SS20 have increased strength and durability. Products are able to work in a wide temperature range from -50 to +100 degrees Celsius. Weak places in the places of fastenings are worked out and strengthened. Silent blocks of the eyes are also made of wear-resistant rubber or polyurethane.

For the elements of the suspension of domestic models there is a special "gold" series. It includes supports, springs and shock absorbers. A distinctive feature of this series is the use of all the developments that are tested in the harsh conditions of race tracks. The same SS20 shock absorbers from the "gold" series will favorably differ from the "Standard" series in the direction of increasing reliability and quality.

SS20 on the UAZ

For domestic SUVs produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, the SS20 also includes two options. These are shock absorbers SS20 on UAZ "Patriot":

* Front SS20185;

* Rear SS20186.

These products differ from the original in a larger body in diameter, which contains a greater amount of special liquid. Also, the shock absorbers are made of high-quality materials and have an increased service life.

For the classic UAZ used shock absorber SS20186, and it is the same for both the front and rear suspension. "Hunter" is also suitable rear shock absorbers SS20. "Patriot" from UAZ with the new thing installed will be pleasantly pleased with the improved handling.

Features of the installation

The procedure for installing shock absorbers is not a complicated process and is available to every man. The main thing is that there is a desire and skills in working with tools. There are a variety of instructions with videos, which replace the shock absorber does not work. It is not worth much to describe this process. Let us dwell on a couple of points.

Is it worth pumping the shock absorber SS20? It is known that pumping the shock absorber removes excess air or gas, which could get into the inner sleeve. This can happen mainly due to improper storage. It takes quite a bit of time, so it is recommended in any case to pump. After this, the shock absorber should be kept horizontal before installation.

If there is an opportunity to take the replacement of the shock absorber module, it is necessary to take it. This greatly simplifies the installation. The details in the module are perfectly balanced.

Conclusion

Shock-absorbers of the company "System of Technologies" SS20 deserve the most close attention. Patented developments significantly increase the reliability, durability and durability of products. A well-established quality control system keeps the highest possible level. A well thought out system of levels and a significant coverage of domestic cars is a guarantee of a long and successful work.
