Dongfeng GX Left rear suspension airbag shock absorber assembly 5001180-C6205

A core advantage of the 5001180-C6205 assembly is its airbag-based shock absorption, designed to deliver exceptional ride comfort and vibration control. The airbag—made of high-strength nylon-reinforced rubber—adjusts air pressure dynamically (via the vehicle’s air suspension system) to absorb road shocks, reducing vibrations transmitted to the cabin by 30-40% compared to traditional coil springs. This is especially critical for Dongfeng GX models carrying variable loads: the airbag expands or contracts to maintain consistent ride height, preventing sagging under heavy cargo or harsh bouncing on empty trips. The integrated hydraulic shock absorber further enhances comfort by damping rebound movements, ensuring the suspension settles quickly after hitting potholes or rough terrain. For drivers and passengers, this translates to reduced fatigue during long journeys and a quieter cabin environment

Built to handle the demands of heavy-duty use, the 5001180-C6205 assembly boasts an impressive load-bearing capacity of 1,800 kg per unit—ideal for Dongfeng GX commercial variants used in logistics, construction, or mining. The airbag’s multi-layer nylon reinforcement resists bursting under extreme pressure (maximum working pressure: 8 bar), while the shock absorber’s piston rod is crafted from hardened chrome-plated steel (HRC 55-60) to withstand bending or deformation under heavy loads. The assembly’s upper and lower mounting brackets are made of cast steel (Q345 grade), featuring reinforced ribs at stress points to distribute weight evenly across the suspension frame. Rigorous load tests—including 10,000+ cycles of full-load compression—confirm its ability to maintain performance without degradation, ensuring reliable operation even in high-demand scenarios

The 5001180-C6205 assembly is engineered to endure harsh environmental conditions, with corrosion-resistant materials and protective features. The airbag’s rubber compound is treated with anti-ozone and anti-UV additives, preventing cracking or hardening from sun exposure or extreme temperatures (-40°C to 80°C). The shock absorber’s outer cylinder is coated with a double-layer electrophoretic finish, passing 1,000-hour salt spray tests to resist rust from road salt, rain, or mud. All(seals) are made of high-temperature-resistant FKM rubber, ensuring airtightness and preventing oil leaks in extreme heat. Additionally, the assembly includes a dust cover that shields the piston rod from debris, reducing wear and extending the shock absorber’s service life to 150,000+ km. This durability minimizes maintenance costs and replacement frequency for fleet operators

Safety is integrated into every aspect of the 5001180-C6205 assembly, contributing to Dongfeng GX’s overall suspension stability and handling. The airbag’s dynamic pressure adjustment ensures consistent tire contact with the road, improving traction and reducing the risk of skidding during sudden braking or cornering—even under heavy loads. The hydraulic shock absorber’s velocity-sensitive damping provides firmer control at high speeds, preventing excessive suspension movement and maintaining vehicle stability. In the event of air pressure loss (e.g., a leak), the assembly’s built-in auxiliary spring supports the load temporarily, preventing the suspension from collapsing and allowing the driver to safely reach a repair facility. These safety features align with industry standards, providing peace of mind for drivers operating in challenging conditions
