Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
Air Shock Absorber Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for air shock absorber in a low maintenance version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually documentation that arrived after the container shipped.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Nylon 66, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- powder coating
- CNC machining
- surface grinding
- injection moulding
- shot blasting
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for passenger cars. Related applications include courier fleets, fleet maintenance, delivery vans, utility trailers, emergency vehicles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
