Cutaway component diagram of a gas-charged shock absorber labeling the rod, piston, seal, valving and bushings.

AI caption · Photo 39 of 101

This document is a labeled cutaway illustration of a gas-charged shock absorber, showing its internal and external construction features. The diagram identifies ten components and design characteristics via callout labels: polyurethane bushings at the mounting eyelets, a weather-resistant black protective boot covering the shaft, an 18mm diameter hardened and heavy chromed rod, an internal rebound bumper, a nylon piston seal, a 1-3/4 inch diameter piston, multi-stage velocity sensitive valving, nitrogen gas charging, a gloss black finish rated for 240 hours of salt spray resistance, and double welded eyelets on both ends. The upload filename "XT Diagram.JPG" suggests this depicts a specific shock absorber product line (likely an aftermarket 'XT' series shock), though no manufacturer name, part number, model, or vehicle application appears in the image itself. The document contains no year, make, or model information, so its applicability to the uploader's claimed 1990 Ford Bronco cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the image alone. A reader can learn the key construction specifications and marketing feature points of this shock absorber design, such as rod diameter, piston size, sealing material, valving type, gas charge, and corrosion protection rating.
