Axpro heavy-duty absorber mountings matching the cross-over period of Honda Accord models from 2012 to 2017 must be split into two distinct chassis configurations. In the Malaysian automotive marketplace, the TAO chassis (8th Gen) covers the 2008–2013 lifecycle, while the T2A/T2M chassis (9th Gen) dictates the 2013–2017 generation. Because Honda completely redesigned the suspension architecture between these two generations, the required parts are completely different.
Generation Comparison & Maintenance Notes
Avoid Premature Strut Leaks: Reusing compressed, lopsided, or rotted top mountings on either generation forces the shock absorber’s central shaft to compress at an off-center angle. This lateral side-loading pressure will quickly damage the oil seals on a brand-new shock absorber, triggering fluid leaks within a few months.
