CHERY 202001106AA ABSORBER ASSY
Product Specifications
| CHERY | 202001106AA |
The ABSORBER ASSY is a hydraulic damping device that controls the rate of suspension spring compression and rebound, maintaining continuous tyre contact with the road surface under dynamic load conditions. A twin-tube damper — the dominant design in passenger car applications — consists of a working cylinder filled with hydraulic oil, a piston with calibrated valving that moves through the oil on a piston rod, and an outer reserve tube that accommodates displaced fluid volume. Monotube dampers, used in performance and heavy-duty applications, place the oil and a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge in a single tube separated by a floating piston, providing more consistent damping response under high thermal load.
This unit — CHERY 202001106AA — is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications: piston rod diameter and chrome plating thickness, compression and rebound valve damping curves, overall extended and compressed length, and mounting geometry are matched to the original part. Supplied as a direct bolt-in replacement requiring no suspension modification for standard fitment. Available wholesale from 15.93 USD, MOQ 50 pcs, production lead time 62 days.
Shock absorbers degrade gradually as internal seals wear and oil becomes aerated, reducing damping force without producing an obvious failure event. The bounce test — pressing down firmly on each corner of the vehicle and releasing — should result in one controlled rebound with no secondary oscillation. More than one bounce indicates a damper that has lost significant damping capacity and requires replacement.
- Support the vehicle on axle stands and remove the wheel. On MacPherson strut applications, use a coil spring compressor to safely compress the spring before loosening the top mount nut — a compressed suspension spring stores significant energy and must never be released uncontrolled.
- Disconnect all ancillary brackets clipped to the damper body — brake hose brackets, ABS sensor cable clips, and ride height sensor links where fitted. Photograph routing before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
- Remove the lower damper bolt at the hub carrier or lower arm and the upper mounting — either the top mount nuts on a strut or the upper eye bolt on a separate damper. Note the exact orientation of any eccentric bolts used for camber adjustment before removal.
- Transfer reusable components to the new damper where applicable — top mount bearing, bump stop, and dust gaiter. Inspect each item and replace if cracked, collapsed, or heavily worn. On strut assemblies, use a spring compressor to transfer the coil spring.
- Torque all fasteners with the suspension at ride height, not at full droop. Rubber bushings in suspension joints must be torqued in their neutral loaded position — torquing at full droop pre-winds the bush and causes premature failure.
- Install the new ABSORBER ASSY (CHERY 202001106AA), torque all fasteners to OEM specification, refit the wheel, and have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted — damper replacement on strut-type suspensions frequently alters camber and toe settings.
