BYD Destroyer 05 Front Shock Absorber Assembly

The BYD Destroyer 05 features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension across all trims. The front shock absorber features a strut-type integrated construction (including coil spring, top mount, dust cover, and other components), installed between the body and the steering knuckle, serving as the core damping element of the suspension system. According to OE parts data, the front shock absorber corresponds to OE numbers HAD-2905010C (front left) and HAD-2905020C (front right) .

The front shock absorber performs three core functions: cushioning and damping, rebound control, and body stabilization – directly affecting ride comfort, handling stability, and tire contact patch. According to vehicle specifications, the Destroyer 05 front suspension features MacPherson strut independent suspension working with Electric Power Steering for precise steering feedback.

In daily use, the front shock absorber is long subjected to road impacts and cyclic loads, making it prone to oil leakage, damping degradation, and abnormal noise – one of the most frequently replaced wearable parts in the chassis suspension system.

Our product is strictly developed to original Destroyer 05 OE specifications, with OE numbers HAD-2905010C (front left) and HAD-2905020C (front right) . Mounting holes, piston rod diameter, dust boot slots, and bump stop interfaces precisely match the original 1:1. Compatible with all 2022-2025 Destroyer 05 models (55KM/120KM range versions, Champion Edition, and Glory Edition).

According to vehicle specifications, the Destroyer 05 features front-wheel drive layout with MacPherson strut front suspension. Our product strictly meets original shock absorber parameters, ensuring suspension geometry remains consistent with the original after installation. Wheel alignment is mandatory after replacement.

The front shock absorber features a twin-tube gas-charged construction with high-pressure nitrogen gas filling, effectively preventing oil foaming and ensuring stable damping force during extended driving.

The piston rod is induction hardened with hard chrome plating for high surface hardness and excellent wear resistance. The piston valve system features precision valve disc stacks for precise compression and rebound damping force distribution – balancing comfort and handling.

The front shock absorber assembly includes all components: coil spring, shock absorber cartridge, top mount, dust cover, and bump stop. According to service standards, spring compressor tools are required during front strut replacement. Our product is fully assembled before shipment – direct replacement of damaged original parts without additional spring pressing.

According to service manuals, the strut top nut torque is 55 N·m , and the strut-to-knuckle bolts torque is 155 N·m . Our product is designed to meet factory torque specifications – must be tightened to specification after installation.

Installation Instructions

Tool Preparation:

• 18mm/19mm/21mm socket wrenches

• Spring compressor (required) 

• Torque wrench

• Safety stands

• Jack or lift

Important Safety Note: Front shock absorber replacement involves spring compression – spring compressor is mandatory. Do not remove the top nut without compressing the spring, as it may cause serious injury.

Installation Steps:

1. Lift Vehicle: Raise front using jack or lift, secure with safety stands, remove front wheels

2. Remove Brake Caliper: Remove brake caliper and hang from body (avoid pulling brake hose)

3. Mark Position: Mark alignment marks on strut-to-knuckle bolts

4. Remove Strut Connection: Remove strut-to-knuckle bolts, torque reference 155 N·m 

5. Remove Top Nuts: Remove 3 nuts securing strut mount to body, torque reference 20 N·m 

6. Remove Old Strut: Remove old strut from vehicle

7. Disassemble Top Mount: Use spring compressor, hold piston rod with hex wrench, remove top self-locking nut, torque reference 55 N·m 

8. Install New Strut: Position new strut, install top nuts pre-tighten

9. Install Knuckle Bolts: Install strut-to-knuckle bolts, align marks, pre-tighten

10. Torque Bolts: Use torque wrench to tighten all bolts to specification

11. Install Wheel: Install wheel, lower vehicle

12. Wheel Alignment: Wheel alignment is mandatory after front strut replacement
