The Tein EnduraPro Rear Left Shock Absorber for the 2003-2008 Subaru Forester SG5 is a high-performance OE-shape shock designed to restore or enhance ride quality and handling. Crafted to match the original equipment specifications, these shock absorbers feature a lower spring seat shaped identically to the OE component, ensuring seamless integration. They are engineered to replace worn or leaking factory dampers while maintaining the vehicle's original ride height. Suitable for use with the vehicle’s original springs and upper mounts, the EnduraPro shocks provide a reliable upgrade that improves ride comfort and stability without altering the vehicle’s stance. Their construction emphasizes durability and consistent performance, making them an excellent choice for drivers seeking a balance of comfort and handling.

Designed specifically for the 2003-2008 Subaru Forester SG5, these shock absorbers are compatible with models equipped with the VSS51-A1MS2-L part number. They are intended for street use, offering a direct bolt-on replacement that restores factory ride characteristics or enhances them further when paired with TEIN lowering springs. Installation is straightforward, utilizing the existing mounting points and hardware. The kit includes the shock absorber itself, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade. Ideal for daily driving or improving overall vehicle dynamics, these EnduraPro shocks deliver improved damping performance and long-lasting reliability for Subaru Forester owners seeking quality suspension components.

Overview

03-08 Subaru Forester SG5 EnduraPro Shock Absorbers by Tein

EnduraPro and EnduraPro PLUS are high-performance OE-shape shock absorbers. Designed to use with the vehicle's original (OE) spring and upper mount, their lower spring seat is shaped identical to the OE shock absorber. In addition to replacing worn or leaking OE dampers, these products are excellent to improve specs like ride quality or handling without changing your ride height. You can also use them with TEIN lowering springs.

A "sealed structure", attained by a new production formula, combines high quality with reduced cost. The top end of the shell pipe is narrowed, oil and gas are injected, and the whole unit is sealed by crimping the metal. This new approach massively shortens the production process. As a result, we have succeeded in vastly cutting production cost.

For strut-type suspensions a thickness increase improves the strength and durability of the bracket attaching to the vehicle (steering knuckle) compared to OE shock absorbers. This higher rigidity of the knuckle's support also improves steering feel and makes the ride feel more stable. Please note that the thickness increase varies per vehicle model.

The shell case, the key part of the shock absorber, is made of a high-strength material with tensile strength around 150% of the OE shell case. Weight increase is curbed by keeping the thickness of the cylinder wall the same. A bigger shell case diameter expands its oil capacity, for improved durability as well as a long-term stable damping force performance.

Exhibiting a stable viscosity in a broad temperature range, the high-performance damper oil sustains smooth strokes and a reliable damping force under all kinds of circumstances. It has excellent anti-foaming properties that protect it from cavitation (bubble-forming), and is resistant to overheating, so that it works noiselessly even on rough roads. The damper oil keeps up its superior performance long-term, because it is also resistant to deterioration over time.

The shell case's bright TEIN-green powder paint coating excels in strength and durability, while our coating technique is eco-friendly and without organic solvents. After pre-treatment, TEIN's patented 2-Layer, 1-Bake powder coating method with corrosion-proofing paint is used for superior durability and rust protection. Outstandingly corrosion-resistant, EnduraPro and EnduraPro PLUS can safely be used in regions with heavy snowfall or coastal areas, etc.
