AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid is formulated with shear-stable synthetic base stocks with high viscosity indices. Its complete additive package reduces foaming, aeration and wear, while seal conditioners are added to keep seals soft and pliable. AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid has been tested and proven to be a superior, balanced product recommended for a wide range of temperatures and applications.

Controllled Dampening and Rebound
AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid is formulated to make suspension systems more predictable. Its base stocks have inherently high viscosity indices that effectively maintain viscosity, while its anti-foam agents reduce aeration and foam.

Reduces Friction and Wear
The constant friction within a shock body decreases suspension performance. AMSOIL Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid contains friction modifiers to reduce the energy loss caused by friction, while anti-wear agents are added to protect shocks and forks from premature wear.
