When upgrading your Great Wall Cannon's rear shocks, consider pairing them with appropriately rated springs based on your typical load requirements. Common rear accessories that affect spring selection include steel trays or tubs, toolboxes, drawer systems, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, and water tanks for extended touring. For vehicles regularly carrying heavy loads or towing, upgraded leaf springs or coil springs matched to your constant accessory weight will maximize the performance benefits of these premium shock absorbers.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and optimal performance. While experienced DIY mechanics can complete the installation using appropriate tools and safety equipment, proper jack stands and torque wrenches are essential. A wheel alignment check is not typically required for shock-only replacement unless other suspension components are being modified simultaneously. Allow approximately 500km of varied driving for the foam cell technology to fully bed in and achieve optimal damping characteristics across different load conditions.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of engineering excellence, rigorous outback testing, and unwavering commitment to quality.

Trusted by touring enthusiasts, tradespeople, and commercial operators across the country, the complete Toughdog suspension range delivers proven reliability backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and expert Australian support.
These Toughdog rear shocks are ideal for Great Wall Cannon owners who demand better performance than factory components — whether you're a tradesperson hauling tools and materials daily, a weekend tourer exploring remote tracks with camping gear loaded, or a caravan tower seeking improved stability and control.

Yes, these Toughdog rear shock absorbers (SKU 5036) are specifically engineered to fit Great Wall Cannon models across all variants. They are designed as direct bolt-in replacements using factory mounting points without requiring modifications to your vehicle. The vehicle-specific valving is tuned for the Cannon's suspension geometry and typical load requirements. If you have specific questions about your particular Cannon variant or year, our suspension experts can confirm exact fitment compatibility before you order.
Upgrading from factory shocks to these Toughdog foam cell rear absorbers delivers significantly improved ride quality, better load stability when carrying cargo or towing, and enhanced durability for off-road and corrugated road conditions. The advanced foam cell technology reduces fade and maintains consistent damping performance even during extended rough terrain driving. You'll notice reduced body roll, better towing stability with less rear-end sway, and improved overall control whether loaded or unloaded. The premium construction also provides superior longevity compared to standard replacement shocks.
This package includes two Toughdog foam cell rear shock absorbers along with mounting hardware and bushings required for installation. Installation instructions and manufacturer warranty documentation are also provided. Please note this is a rear shock pair only — front shock absorbers, springs, and other suspension components are sold separately. If you're looking to upgrade your complete suspension system, we can help you select compatible front shocks, springs, and other components specifically matched to your Great Wall Cannon.
Absolutely. These Toughdog rear shocks are engineered with enhanced damping control specifically designed to improve stability when towing caravans, camper trailers, or boat trailers behind your Great Wall Cannon. The foam cell technology reduces porpoising and rear-end sway common when towing, maintaining better vehicle control and reducing driver fatigue on long journeys. For maximum towing performance, consider pairing these shocks with appropriately rated springs matched to your typical towing weight, or add airbag suspension for adjustable load leveling capability.
Control arm upgrades are not required when installing these rear shock absorbers, as they are designed to work effectively with your factory Great Wall Cannon suspension geometry and mounting points. However, if you're planning a complete suspension upgrade including lift kits or significantly increased ride height, upgraded control arms may be recommended to maintain proper suspension geometry and optimize performance. Our suspension experts can advise on whether additional components would benefit your specific setup based on your intended use and modifications.
A full wheel alignment is generally not required when replacing rear shock absorbers only, as shocks do not affect alignment angles in the same way springs or control arms do. However, it's always good practice to have your alignment checked if you're experiencing uneven tire wear or if it's been a while since your last alignment service. If you're installing these shocks as part of a larger suspension upgrade that includes springs or other components that alter ride height, then a professional wheel alignment becomes mandatory to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
Foam cell shock absorbers like these Toughdog units contain a specialized foam insert within the shock body that minimizes oil aeration and cavitation during intense off-road use or extended periods on corrugated roads. This technology maintains more consistent damping performance compared to standard gas shocks, which can experience fade as the oil and gas mix under extreme conditions. The result is better control, reduced fade, and more predictable handling across varied terrain. Foam cell technology is particularly beneficial for Australian conditions where long stretches of rough corrugated roads can quickly degrade standard shock performance.
These Toughdog rear shock absorbers are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Toughdog stands behind their products with Australian-based warranty support, giving you confidence in your investment. Warranty documentation is included with your purchase and contains full terms and conditions. For specific warranty period details or to make a warranty claim, contact our team who can facilitate the process. Keep your purchase receipt and ensure professional installation to maintain full warranty coverage.
Yes, these Toughdog foam cell rear shocks significantly enhance off-road capability compared to factory absorbers. The advanced damping technology maintains better control over rocks, ruts, and uneven terrain while the fade-resistant design keeps performance consistent even during extended off-road sections. You'll experience improved wheel articulation control, better traction maintenance, and reduced harsh impacts transmitted to the cabin. When combined with appropriate springs and other suspension components, these shocks form the foundation of a capable off-road suspension system suited to everything from beach driving to remote desert tracks.
While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools, safety equipment, and mechanical knowledge can install these shock absorbers, professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is recommended for optimal results. Proper installation requires secure vehicle support on jack stands, correct torque specifications for mounting bolts, and attention to safety throughout the process. Professional installers also have the expertise to identify any worn bushings or other suspension components that may need attention during the installation. If you're confident in your mechanical abilities and have the right equipment, the installation process is straightforward as these are direct bolt-in replacements.
