Shock Absorbers
The primary function of a shock absorber is to dampen the movement of the vehicle’s suspension system, which helps to provide a stable ride. This is accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid and a piston that moves inside a cylinder. As the suspension system moves up and down, the hydraulic fluid is forced through small valves inside the shock absorber.
When it comes to 4-wheel drive vehicles, there are several factors to consider when choosing shock absorbers. These may include the type of driving that your vehicle will be used for (e.g. on-road vs. off-road), the weight of the vehicle, and the type of suspension system that the vehicle has.
Off-road shock absorbers for 4-wheel drive vehicles are typically designed to handle rough terrain and high-speed impacts, such as those encountered when driving over rocks, sand, or mud. They may have a larger diameter piston and more durable construction than a standard shock absorber, as well as features like adjustable damping and remote reservoirs to help keep the hydraulic fluid cool.
Choosing the right shock absorbers for a 4-wheel drive vehicle is an important part of maintaining its performance and safety, particularly if the vehicle will be used for off-road driving. It’s always best to consult with us since Wodonga Springs are a suspension specialist and we’ll determine the best options for your particular vehicle and driving needs.

EFS Elite Shock Absorbers
The EFS Elite Shock Absorber Range is developed for the 4wd owner who only pursues the best for their 4wd. EFS is built with high quality Internal & external components combined together to give you excellent performance and longevity. EFS shock absorbers are vehicle & height specific with valving developed to suit each vehicle. “Not a one shock suits all approach”
51mm-60mm external tube. This equals greater oil capacity to keep the valve at a lower operating temperature
Low-pressure nitrogen gas. This prevents the oil from cavitation (foaming)
Long-travel design. This maximises wheel travel when a vehicle is raised and increases articulation
35mm piston, twin-tube construction. This allows for increased control of the spring during rebound and compression cycles
16mm quality hardened chromed piston rod. This means a longer service life and greater lateral strength
5mm outer & inner wall thickness for greater durability and strength
Dynamic motion control technology. This allows adjustment to different road and off-road conditions
High-quality poly and rubber mounting bushes
EFS Enforcer Shock Absorbers
EFS Enforcer is designed for the price conscious 4wd enthusiasts, who need a shock absorber that gets the job done. 51mm External Tube -For greater oil capacity & to keep the valve at a lower operating temperature.
Low-pressure nitrogen gas. This prevents the oil from cavitation (foaming)
Long-travel design. This maximises wheel travel when a vehicle is raised and increases articulation
Twin tube construction. This offers greater control of the spring during the rebound and compression cycles
15mm quality hardened chromed piston rod. This provides increased durability
2mm outer and inner wall thickness – for greater durability and strength
Dynamic motion control technology. This allows adjustment to different road and off-road conditions
High quality internal & external components. This prevents fade under harsh conditions
Long-life poly bushes for durability
EFS XTR Shock Absorbers
The EFS XTR Shock Absorber Range is developed specifically for the Out-back off-road Tourer, with a heavily laden 4wd. It is Improved with increased oil capacities to reduce operating temperatures and incorporates a highly robust construction to take on the worst Australian Out-back roads. EFS XTR shock absorber are designed & developed to suit each vehicle and are not a one shock suits all approach. They are constructed from high quality internal and external components to meet the demands of the modern 4wd.
64mm external tube. This means greater oil capacity to keep the valve at a lower operating temperature
Low-pressure nitrogen gas. This prevents the oil from cavitation (foaming)
Long-travel design – maximises wheel articulation
40mm piston, twin-tube construction. This allows for increased control of the spring during the rebound and compression cycles
20mm quality hardened chromed piston rod. This means a longer service life and greater lateral strength
2 mm outer & inner wall thickness for greater durability and strength
Dynamic motion control technology. This allows adjustment to different road and off-road conditions
High-quality poly and rubber mounting bushes
EFS X-Treme Shock Absorbers
The EFS X-Treme range of shocks and struts is our premium product range. X-Treme products have a reputation for toughness in the competitive retail market. They were born over a decade ago out of the demands of 4WD competition. However, they’ve since been refined to become one of the toughest family-friendly suspension solutions on the market. X-Treme offers unsurpassed durability, handling and ride quality. Whether it’s across corrugated outback tracks or other highly strenuous off-road environments, X-Treme has your back.
