The EFS Elite Rear Shock Absorber (36-5492) provides premium ride control and comfort for Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 models produced from 2001 to 2005 with a 30 mm suspension lift. Developed as part of the EFS Elite Series, it’s engineered to handle tough off-road conditions while maintaining on-road comfort and stability.
With an open length of 619 mm and a closed length of 371 mm, the 36-5492 offers excellent suspension travel and consistent damping response. Its Pin (top) and EB1-S (lower) mounts ensure easy fitment to OEM locations. A 35 mm piston and 16 mm hardened-chrome shaft operate within a 51–60 mm twin-tube body pressurised with nitrogen gas to prevent aeration and shock fade under extreme loads.
