Unity Automotive Shocks Surpass OEM Expectations


You have felt it. The bounce. The vibration. The looseness hitting a wide corner. It’s almost as if your car is convulsing any time you ride over a crack in the road. Without even taking a peek you can tell the suspension has seen its last days. It becomes a scramble. Now you have to find suitable replacement parts that will hopefully do the job without smashing your budget. Choosing the right aftermarket suspension is not only important, but essential. Your vehicle was designed to perform a certain way and now that you need a new suspension, a slight tinge of worry sets in.

There is no need for concern with Unity Automotive. Unity presents a full line of shocks, strut assemblies, and conversion kits to get your sled gliding smoothly. A big part of the reason Unity struts are such a widely respected replacement is not just because of their quality, but also their seamless fit and finish. You want factory-esque results? Unity does better than that. Thanks to over 40 years of manufacturing experience, they have nailed down the formula it takes to give your car or truck improved comfort and sustainability dealer parts can’t match.

Unity Suspension Strut Assembly
It all begins with Unity strut assemblies. Made for both the front and rear, these are not run-of-the-mill struts that require you to do a lot of detective work. Unity provides all the components you need in their full strut assemblies. Here you get everything – the struts, pistons, springs, spring isolators, valves, OEM mounts, and a protective dust boot that keeps external elements from doing damage. One of their key advantages is that they come ready for installation, so there is no need for unnecessary elbow grease. You won’t have to mess with decompressing the springs and grabbing a coil compressor since the spring comes prepped and ready for action. Not only do you have top quality struts to throw on your ride that will outperform the OEM suspension, but the pain of installation is also made a whole lot easier.

Unity Bare Struts
If your springs are in good shape, the mounts are still intact, but the rest of the strut needs replacement, Unity has bare struts available. Unlike a full assembly that encompasses everything you need in one part, Unity bare struts are just that – the strut, piston, and OEM-ready mounting system. When your suspension has been questionable, the best news you can hear from the mechanic is that your springs are still in working order and the mounts haven’t been compromised. Switching out the OEM strut for a Unity replacement is a quick and effective way to bring things back to standard.

Riding around in that Lincoln and blow an air bag? No problem! Unity offers their own Air Ditcher conversion kits that change the previous air suspension into a reliable MacPherson setup. Air suspension systems might be known for providing a cushy ride, especially for large luxury vehicles. However, one of their drawbacks has always been repair. When an air system goes bad it isn’t just (potentially) damaging to the car, it’s also heavy on the wallet. There’s a reason for that. Air suspensions require multiple working parts in order to function. The bags, the compressor, the increased electrical draw- it’s not just one thing. Plus, in order to effectively fix a damaged unit you have to be very familiar with its inner-workings. If not, it’s off to the shop you go and before you know it, a nice chunk of dough is taken out of your bank account. All of this to repair a suspension that isn’t any more effective than a traditional steel configuration.

Unity Air to Coil Conversion Kit
The Air Ditcher system is a strict air to coil conversion kit that gives you everything you need. All of the parts are in place and at a fraction of the cost it takes to repair air shocks, you can instead be rolling around with the same level of comfort but with added durability thrown in for good measure. The best part is, even if you reach a point where you have to “replace the replacement”, you will still be saving a lot of money. Air Ditcher air to coil conversion kits are available for many makes including Chevy, Chrysler, Ford, Lexus, Lincoln, and Dodge.

When your shocks go bad it is not a fun situation. They are a crucial part of both driving comfort and health. Fatigued shocks can lead to issues in the axles, wheels, and alignment. In other words, they are an important part to replace. Unity Automotive makes top quality shocks, struts, and assemblies that deliver the same level of OEM quality but with increased strength and a simple installation. UltraRev carries a full lineup of Unity struts and conversion kits for a wide variety of makes and models. Check us out today to see what’s available for your vehicle.
