Axpro heavy-duty absorber mountings designed for the second-generation Honda CR-V 2.0L/2.4L (S9A / RD4–RD9 Chassis, 2002–2006) are critical structural buffers engineered to secure the front and rear struts to the vehicle’s unibody chassis. Because the CR-V is a heavier, high-clearance SUV, heavy-duty aftermarket mountings are essential to absorb intense vertical road vibrations, maintain proper wheel alignment, and prevent annoying clunking noises over bumps.
Honda CR-V S9A Core Technical Guidelines
Prevent Strut Seal Damage: Reusing a compressed or lopsided top mount causes the shock absorber’s inner rod to compress at an off-center angle. This lateral force will quickly rupture the fluid seals on a brand-new shock absorber, triggering oil leaks within a few thousand kilometers.
