Product Overview

The Pedders rear suspension conversion kit provides a direct bolt-in replacement for Kia Sorento models fitted with or without the original self-levelling suspension. Unlike the factory self-levelling shocks which carry part of the vehicle weight hydraulically, this kit uses matched springs and dampers engineered to support the vehicle correctly and maintain intended ride height. This eliminates the issues caused by self-levelling shock failure which often results in a sagging rear.

This kit improves rear suspension control, particularly when towing or carrying heavy loads, reducing the underdamped feel commonly experienced with the original system. It is suitable for daily driving and load carrying, restoring vehicle stance and ensuring optimal suspension function.

Technology & Materials

Pedders gas shocks are constructed using heavy-duty twin-tube gas technology and feature reinforced double welded mountings for long term durability. The springs and shocks are engineered as a matched system to ensure precise damping and weight support, enhancing overall suspension performance and reliability.

Installation & Compatibility

This kit is a direct bolt-in replacement designed to use the vehicle's existing original equipment hardware. No modifications or additional parts are required for fitment. The system is supplied as a matched set of springs and shocks which eliminates the need for further assembly. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to ensure proper handling and tyre wear.

This kit suits standard daily driving requirements and offers improved control when towing or carrying moderate loads. For frequent heavy towing or heavier loads, an alternative stiffer spring kit is available from Pedders.
