The shock absorber is an important element in the car suspension system, serving as the basis for the shock absorber strut. The quality of its operation and condition directly determine the smoothness of the ride, vehicle stability on the road, handling, etc. At the same time, entry-level and even middle-class cars are often not equipped with high-quality shock absorbers from the factory.
Unfortunately, the popular Lada Priora model was also no exception. However, the situation can be improved by installing high-quality analogues on the car instead of the standard factory version. Next, we will look at how to choose Priora shock absorbers, which models are best to pay attention to, and also what you need to consider when choosing shock absorbers for a Priora.
Front shock absorbers for Priora
The front suspension is equipped with struts with different original part numbers (for right and left). The only difference between them is depending on the side of installation; they are the same in size. The design of the stock front shock absorbers of the VAZ 2170 is non-separable. Reviews about the original shock absorbers are different, but most are still positive. They are relatively soft and last a long time, provided they are not used too intensively on bad roads and off-road conditions.

Analogs of Priora front shock absorbers
Replacement shock absorbers for Priora are very popular, since the factory parts have performed poorly off-road and their service life is not very long. The table shows the most popular and best-selling models, which will be equally good for operating a car in any conditions.
| Manufacturer | vendor code | price, rub. |
| SS20 | SS20118 (fits both sides) | 6000 (set of 2 pieces) |
| Trialli | AH 01159 (left); AH 01360 (right) | 1900 |
| Pilenga | SH-P 2771 – O (left); SH-P 2770 – O (right) | 1600 |
But if the goal is simply to save money when buying stock shock absorber struts, then you can buy not in standard packaging with the Lada inscription, but in red, directly from the SAAZ manufacturer itself.
Article number and estimated cost for rear original shock absorber struts
On the rear axle, identical shock absorber struts are installed on the right and left sides. The original unit has article number 21702915004. The cost for a new product is about 1600-2200 rubles.
It is also possible to purchase cheaper original shock absorber struts that have been used. At car dismantling yards, the car owner will have to pay over 900 rubles for a unit in more or less quality. There are no guarantees regarding the durability of used spare parts, since their residual life is unknown.
Rear shock absorbers on Priora
The rear wheels of the Lada Priora factory also come with non-separable shock absorbers. Their characteristics are similar to the front ones. As many drivers note, these shock absorbers are very soft and do not hold the road well at high speeds.
| vendor code | Rod diameter, mm | Case diameter, mm |
| 21702915004 | 11 | 46 |
Analogs of Priora front shock absorbers
Replacements for shock absorbers on the rear wheels of Priors are slightly less popular than those on the front wheels. Often, many drivers install analogues on the front wheels, and leave original spare parts on the rear wheels. Nevertheless, the most popular analogues of rear shock absorbers are presented below.
| Manufacturer | vendor code | price, rub. |
| SS20 | SS20144 | 5200 (set, 2 pcs.) |
| Fenox | A12288C3 | 1200 |
| Kraft | KT 073542 | 1200 |
Which shock absorber struts for Priora are better? For moderate driving, and at a low price, it is better to take the original SAAZ. Also, shock absorbers from the Russian company SS20 deserve special attention. They produce high-quality and technologically advanced products at a relatively low price. The range is represented by several lines of shock absorbers (differing in level of rigidity). But the most popular for the VAZ 2170 is the “Comfort” series. They are a little stiffer than the factory ones, which is especially noticeable at speeds up to 50 km/h. But after this mark they perfectly reveal their full potential on uneven roads. When entering the pit, the sound is practically inaudible, and most of the vibrational energy is absorbed.
Also of particular interest are shock absorber struts from the Japanese Kayaba (KYB), the big advantage of which is their versatility. They perform well both on smooth highways and off-road. The company has developed gas-oil shock absorbers labeled Exel-G, especially for Priora. But, due to the novelty of these spare parts, they are now quite rare on sale.
Which stand for VAZ is better to buy?
When selecting the best shock absorbers for a VAZ, it is important to set your priorities correctly. For comfortable rides at low and medium speeds, there is nothing better than soft struts; any unevenness on them is practically not felt. If you prioritize the speed characteristics of the car, then it is appropriate to purchase rigid options with which the body does not sway and responds well to steering movements. There are models of medium rigidity that are flawless both at speed and during quiet driving.
Here are the racks that are best suited for which purposes:
- To lower the car to a small height without the need for alterations, it is best to take the VAZ 2108-2115 car stock. They take the place of the original shock absorbers and provide a decrease in ground clearance by reducing the length of the rod.
- If you need durable struts for traveling at speeds of up to 150 km/h at a reasonable price, then the best choice is Demfi comfort front Kalina 1119. They are quite comfortable, but have better acceleration performance and greater driving stability compared to the original models.
- For those who like to drive fast on highways, the Plaza Standart VAZ 2110 stands are well suited. They are quite rigid and slightly lift the car, which creates some inconvenience in urban conditions. But the shock absorbers are fully deployed on high-speed highways.
- For universal racks, equally good for urban conditions and country trips, you should take the ElastoMag VAZ 2108. The absence of discomfort at different speeds is the main advantage of the model.
- For leisurely trips and frequent travel over rough terrain or off-road, we can recommend the original BelMag VAZ 2108-09. If you drive within the speed limit set by the traffic rules, they fit perfectly.
- Drivers with a mixed type of driving, who love fishing, hunting and periodically transport cargo, should purchase the SS20 SS20 VAZ Niva 2121, 21213. Universal racks are suitable for almost all types of surfaces.
- If you want to purchase durable shock absorbers for fast driving, it is better to choose Kyb Excel-G (Kayaba) VAZ 2110-12. They prevent the car from swaying at speed and are quite comfortable in urban environments, where they can last up to 200,000 km.
When choosing the best racks for the VAZ 2114, 2108, 2109, 2115, 2121 and other models, it is important to immediately determine their driving characteristics that you need to obtain. Here you should focus on rigidity, road stability and wear resistance of the products. All of the listed shock absorbers have proven themselves positively in a certain area. If you understand the purpose of the car, then choosing suitable products from the rating will not be difficult.
When to change shock absorbers on Priors?
According to Lada Priora maintenance regulations, shock absorbers are checked at every scheduled inspection. They change depending on the condition. The main signs of the need for replacement are body swaying and vibration when driving, poor road holding by the car, knocking and clicking in the chassis area, high sensitivity even to small road irregularities. And also, of course, oil drips on the racks. As practice shows, original Priora shock absorbers last an average of 40 thousand km. But there were some rare cases when this figure reached 90 thousand km.

Life hack: racks for Priora - price, replacement
Struts, or shock absorbers, on Priora, are an important integral part of the suspension. They soften the passage over every bump or hole on the road. The price of racks for 1 unit is not very high, for a Priora car from 2000 rubles. but there are 4 of them and that’s already a lot. Some people try to save money and change only the front struts first.
But I don’t see anything good here, and this is not the whole price, give half the money, but by changing only the front - when you pass a speed bump, the back of the car will reverberate in your spine. Structurally, the front shock absorber is different from the rear one, because the front suspension of the Priora car is more complex. The rear pillars are simpler in design - they experience less load, and they even cost less. You will find the article number of SAA struts for Lada Priora below in the article. Since there are many of them, car enthusiasts try to choose “soft” cars. AvtoVAZ initially installed shock absorbers on the Priora such that, compared to models of the same class, the VAZ-2170 performs favorably when driving speed bumps, in the city and when traveling off-road.
But this is all advertising and in fact the SAAZ racks, crappy, work in one direction. This means they dampen vibrations only when you press them, and press them back without any effort.
Sometimes car owners are looking for other shock absorbers on the Priora (along with several other components) to make their car more stable when turning, and the suspension itself more “hardy” and durable. For example, I installed the ss20, along with the supports, and realized that they are really the best for this car. When thinking about which ones are better, they choose not only sports components. But AvtoVAZ still took care of the suspension design, strengthening the rear shock absorbers of the Priora station wagon.
Bottom line
While you can drive your car with worn dampers, that's not something you should do because they are an integral part of everything a car does, especially shock absorbers affecting braking and cornering. Severely worn struts may take longer stopping distances or react unexpectedly during an emergency maneuver, so replace them at the first sign of trouble.

Standard struts (shock absorbers) of the Priora car - article number and price
Devices for damping (vibration damping) in the Lada Priora car were produced by the SAAZ 50 plant. The A-pillars are the same for all body types (they differ only on the sides - they are symmetrical), and are similar in size - the diameter of the rod is 23 mm, the diameter of the body is 49 mm.
The standard front shock absorber struts on the Priora are praised, rarely opting for analogues. Article numbers for front shock absorbers for Priora:
- 21702905003 (left) – 2,500 rubles;
- 21702905002 (right) – 2,500 rubles.
The rear shock absorbers on the Priora received catalog number 21702915004, the price is about 1,400 rubles. As for them, drivers note that bumps are “swallowed”, while the car drives smoothly, but at high speed it “floats”, and this is dangerous.
What are racks?
These are devices that smooth out jerks caused by uneven road surfaces. Their action is based on the piston effect of the syringe. Only the liquid in the cylinder is squeezed out through the piston through a special valve.
To decide which ones are best to install on the Priora, you should know that shock absorbers are divided into three groups based on the type of filler:
- hydraulic;
- gas;
- pneumohydraulic.
During factory assembly, it is the first group that is installed on the Priora, and during the operational period, many drivers prefer to replace them with gas analogues.
Basic faults
Failures of a part of the Priora suspension can be judged by the following signs:
- Oil leaks under the wheels. The shock absorber consists of a cylinder, valves, a piston with a rod - all parts actively move, so they need lubrication. If there are leaks, it means the device has become depressurized and will work less efficiently.
- Mechanical damage. If possible, visually inspect the parts - if there is any deformation or rust, it means they have “worked their best.”
- Rock the front (and then the back) of the car in different directions - away from you, to the left, to the right. When you release the car, one or two vibrations are considered normal - it is “damped” by a normal shock absorber. If the car stops immediately, the part is jammed; if it continues to wobble, replace it.
- When traveling, the car begins to wobble, the braking distance increases, and when turning, the car wobbles greatly. Also, when driving over speed bumps, or ordinary potholes, broken shock absorbers do not dampen vibrations at all, that is, the car sways as if on waves, and a knock will be heard.
Service station employees check the suspension with a vibration stand or a special stand. The check goes down to small units - they can even tell you how long it will take to approximately replace them.
Which struts are better: gas or oil, or maybe gas-oil
I’ll say right away, not for the sake of advertising, I haven’t seen anything better than the ss-20 on the Priora. To understand which racks are better, or which ones are more suitable for you, you need to know their operating principle.
Gas - the internal filling is gas, very hard, you can’t just push them through with your hand, or if you put them on a car, you can’t just break through the suspension - but you’ll drive like a bucket.
Oil-filled - they are filled with oil, soft, and very often create force in only one direction. Installed on almost all cans from the factory. The suspension is soft and killable - if you hit a good bump, it won’t be difficult to break through the shock absorber until it clicks unpleasantly.
Gas-oil ones are an interesting option; they contain both gas and oil inside. When the strut reaches critical compression, the gas is activated, pushing the oil and with it the rod into the neutral position. That is, on critical bumps the gas will not allow the suspension to break through.
How to pump up a rack?
In order to bring the front struts into working condition, they need to be bled. This must be done as follows:
- Place the front pillar vertically;
- Smoothly pull the rod to the top point;
- After that, gently press it back.
Do 3-4 such repetitions, and there should be no failures or falls while moving the rod. After pumping the racks, try to keep them in an upright position.
Manufacturers and prices of analogues
- A frequently used analogue of Priora struts is the SS-20.
- SS-20 are sporty, they provide greater “strength” of the suspension, and cost accordingly.
- The front part number is SS20118, they cost 6,000 rubles for two pieces. However, there is one “but” - the SS-20 must be installed together with supports that fit the fasteners.
- The price of Priora struts is not that high, because the SS-20 company sells them as a kit. A set of rear shock absorbers costs 5,200 rubles, article number – SS20144. This company has several model lines - standard, sport, comfort, optimal.
- There is an analogue from Trialli: AH-01159 on the left, AH-01360 on the right, the price is 1,900 rubles each. Front shock absorbers at a low price - from Pilenga: SH-P 2771 - O on the left, SH-P 2770 - O on the right. Cost: 1,600 rubles. In terms of replacing rear components, you can take a closer look at Fenox A12288C3 (1,200 rubles) and KraftKT 073542 (1,200 rubles).
- There is an expensive analogue - Kayaba struts for Priora. They are called KYB EXCEL-G (front), the price of the set is 6,000 rubles, the complete rear set will cost about 6,100 rubles.
- An analogue of Demfi is sold under the article number ITM70-2905002, ITM70-2905003, price - 2,100 rubles (front), ITM70-2915004, cost - 1,300 rubles (rear). The model range is quite wide: gas, hydraulic options, and there is an adaptation for a lowering spring. Branded shock absorber mounts for Lada Priora are for sale.
Auto Asomi
One of the most famous domestic companies that produces supports for Priora. Among Asomi's products are front and rear supports of 2 types: gas-oil shock absorbers "ComfortPRO" and oil shock absorbers "ComfortClassic". There are also additional strut extensions available, which will facilitate their installation on the car and improve the quality of the structure itself.
When choosing Acomi struts for Priora, it is not at all easy to determine the best ones. The presence of certificates and compliance with quality standards do not guarantee that this suspension will serve every Priora owner for the same long time.
Replacement - (removal and installation) of front and rear struts on Priora
Choose devices based on quality and your needs. To replace the front struts of the Priora, you will first have to prepare several bolts (if the threads have to be knocked off), a support bearing, a pair of boots, new steering tips and bump stops. If the suspension is completely loose, you can purchase a support for it. When replacing shock absorbers you will need the following tools:
- pliers;
- a set of keys;
- hexagon "6";
- puller for pressing out hinges;
- jack;
- supports;
- screeds;
- lubricant;
- wheel wrench;
- rags;
- spring puller;
- hammer;
- metal brush.
Preliminary preparation for replacement
Replacing the shock absorber strut is accompanied by the dismantling of a number of related elements. Troubleshooting them allows you to identify parts with an end of life, so you may need to additionally purchase this or that product.
The service life that the support has is in most cases comparable to replacing the rack. Therefore, experienced car owners recommend purchasing it in advance.
To prevent the need for repeated repairs, it is advisable to replace rubber products. For example, it is recommended to install the boot and bumper new, regardless of the condition of the dismantled elements.
Some car owners perform suspension tuning when replacing the shock absorber strut. One option is to use interturn spacers. This action allows you to increase ground clearance and increase chassis rigidity.
Replacing the front struts on a Priora car will be carried out in the following order:
- Lock the car with the handbrake;
- Jack up the front end and place supports;
- Using a wheel wrench, moving clockwise, gradually loosen the wheel bolts, and then pull it towards you;
- Disconnect the brake hoses from the device;
- Remove the steering tip with a puller;
- Coat the bottom of the device being removed with lubricant. Attention! After this step, it is advisable to wait about 10-15 minutes for the lubricant to work well;
- Unscrew the bolts (you may have to remove the threads);
- Remove the bottom part of the device from the mount;
- Unscrew the nuts securing it to the body, remove the shock absorber;
- Secure the spring with plastic ties (this makes them easier to store);
- Place the hexagon at the top of the rod (there is a seat). This will keep it from spinning during the next step;
- The rod nut must be unscrewed, after which you can completely remove the shock absorber;
- Take out the compression limiter and then the bump stop;
- Finally, remove the spring, cup, damper, boot.
Installation is carried out in reverse order. Don't forget to check the front strut support bearing - it will most likely need to be replaced.
Replacement of rear shock absorbers (struts) on a Priora car is carried out with the same set of tools, but according to a slightly different principle:
- Shift into gear;
- Open the trunk, remove the trim above the wheel arches. You will see bolts - they secure the rear shock absorbers;
- Unscrew the bolts, holding them from turning;
- Jack up the car, place supports;
- Unscrew another fastening nut from below. If you can’t do it just like that, pour grease on the area;
- Remove the parts from the bracket;
- Installation is in reverse order.
It is ideal to finish replacing shock absorbers with a test on a bench - the wheels need to be aligned so that there are no misunderstandings and the car drives smoothly.

Disassembly of the structure
1. Take the spring tie prepared earlier and install it on the second coil of the spring from above and below as shown in the photo. The second screed is installed on the other side symmetrically to the first. The process of bringing the spring together is carried out as follows - tighten the bolts of the first tie until you feel that the second one begins to move freely on the coils, then tighten it until you remove the load from the previous one. That is, in turn on each side.
2. Take the “22” socket and hexagon and unscrew the fastening nut that secures the strut rod to the support.
3. Remove the limiter (bump stop), support bearing, support, and compression limiter.
4. Replace the old rebound limiter washers with those that came with the Acomi struts. Please note that the bottom one is smaller than the top one.
5. Next, remove the spring cup with rubber damper, compression buffer, spring and boot.
Now it is necessary to carry out a visual inspection of the dismantled rack.
The first test of swinging the rod to the top point demonstrated the cause of the malfunction. The resistance in the upper part of the working area quickly disappeared, after which the piston hit the upper part of the cylinder. As you understand, this was the source of the dull knocks.
Priora struts: which shock absorbers are better to choose
The shock absorber is an important element in the car suspension system, serving as the basis for the shock absorber strut. The quality of its operation and condition directly determine the smoothness of the ride, vehicle stability on the road, handling, etc. At the same time, entry-level and even middle-class cars are often not equipped with high-quality shock absorbers from the factory.
Unfortunately, the popular Lada Priora model was also no exception. However, the situation can be improved by installing high-quality analogues on the car instead of the standard factory version. Next, we will look at how to choose Priora shock absorbers, which models are best to pay attention to, and also what you need to consider when choosing shock absorbers for a Priora.
Rating of the best racks for VAZ
To include the TOP best racks worthy of attention for installation on a VAZ, the following characteristics were taken into account:
- Wear resistance;
- No extraneous sounds after a long period of operation;
- High-quality rubber seals;
- Comfortable movement around the city and beyond;
- Ease of transport management;
- The ability of the suspension to absorb vibrations.
In addition to the main parameters, owner reviews, expert opinions, and price-quality ratio were of great importance when selecting racks.
The best shock absorbers for cars
Racks on Priora: what you need to know
First of all, you need to consider that a shock absorber strut is not just a shock absorber. As you know, Priora has McPherson at the front. In fact, the MacPherson suspension design involves a shock absorber with a coil spring installed on its body.
The spring itself is clamped between the cups (upper and lower). There is also an upper shock mount that is attached to the body. The wheels turn due to the fact that the support has a support bearing. The lower part of the rack is connected to the hub assembly.
We also add that the rear suspension on the Priora is structurally simpler (there is no need to implement the ability to turn the wheels). It is based on a strong beam to which the hub assembly is attached; there is also a shock-absorbing strut in the form of a shock absorber and spring, supports for the rear struts, etc.
So, taking into account the fact that the shock absorber itself is the basis of the shock absorber strut, car enthusiasts and repair specialists simply call it a strut (without taking into account other structural elements). In other words, when we are talking about a car, including a Priora, in the language of professionals, struts often mean only a shock absorber, and not the entire shock absorber strut as a whole.
- Let's move on. As practice shows, the front struts of the Priora fail much faster than the rear struts. Also, the front shock absorbers influence controllability and stability, as well as a number of other characteristics and indicators. In fact, if the rear struts of a Priora may well last up to 80-100 thousand km, the front struts may require replacement by 40 thousand.

Priora front struts and rear shock absorbers: the best solutions
As practice shows, correctly selected front struts on a Priora can significantly improve the car’s behavior on the road. Taking into account the fact that Lada Priora is a budget model, there is no talk of installing expensive shock absorbers such as Bilstein, Koni, Sachs and others.
Some manufacturers simply do not have struts for Priora, others have solutions that are too expensive, and in some cases, modifications, alterations, etc. will also be required to install a new shock absorber. However, among the more affordable and high-quality racks for Priora, SS20, SAAZ or KYB (Kayaba, Kayaba) can be distinguished.
- First of all, if you need a comfortable and reliable Priora front strut, then the SS20 struts can be considered the optimal solution in terms of quality, as well as price (which is important). Moreover, the manufacturer of these shock absorbers is domestic (System Technologies), and specifically for the Priora there are 4 types of struts available in the line.
The SS20 “standard” struts are the softest and are well suited for a quiet ride. The “comfort” version is more universal, the shock absorbers are a little stiffer, and are better suited for high-speed driving on the highway. Also, these racks work more efficiently on bad roads.
The SS20 “sport” version is the toughest and is designed for high speeds. At the same time, the car's handling improves noticeably, however, when driving on bad roads, the stiffness of the shock absorbers somewhat affects comfort.
- If you need imported racks, in this case it is recommended to pay attention to Kayaba racks (KYB for Priora). The manufacturer from Japan is well known all over the world, and also offers spare parts for Russian-made cars.
For the Priora, KYB has developed Exel-G gas-oil shock absorbers. This line includes the front and rear pillars of the Priora. In practice, these shock absorbers are in great demand among car enthusiasts. Kayaba on Priora is considered a universal solution, the rigidity is average (it holds the road well on the highway and performs well in the city).
- The SAAZ racks complete the list. Let’s note right away that these are Priora’s standard factory struts. In other words, this Priora shock absorber is on the car from the factory. This option can be taken if the car’s behavior on the original shock absorbers is completely satisfactory.
The price is quite affordable, although the service life of SAAZ shock absorbers on the VAZ 2170 is no more than 40 thousand km. It can also be noted that in some cases you can limit yourself to only replacing the racks themselves, leaving the factory supports and bumpers (if they are fully functional).
Which brand of stand for VAZ is better to choose?
We present a list of the best manufacturers:
- Shtokauto - the company produces shock absorbers, cartridges and struts for both foreign cars and Russian cars. All products are manufactured using a standard two-pipe design. Its advantages: high-quality oil seals, an efficient valve system, pistons with Teflon banding and thickened, chrome-plated, high-index fluids in shock absorbers from Fuchs and Addinol.
- Demfi is a brand that supplies original spare parts for VAZ; its racks are used during the assembly of cars at factories. This domestic company belongs to the affordable price segment; its products are designed for difficult conditions of use on Russian roads. Advantages of racks: original designs, modern production technologies, high comfort and vehicle controllability.
- Plaza is the only manufacturer in Russia that mass-produces single-tube gas-oil shock absorbers for different types of cars; gas struts are also in great demand. The brand's products are distinguished by reasonable prices, minimal defects and optimal driving performance.
- ElastoMag is a domestic manufacturer of high-quality shock absorbers, rubber bushings and stabilizer struts. The products belong to the middle price niche. The main emphasis in production is on creating unique rubber mixtures for silent blocks, bushings, balls, characterized by a long service life.
- BelMag is a company that produces shock absorbers adapted for a measured driving style. The company focuses on driving comfort on Russian roads; its oil struts successfully compensate for vibrations from road obstacles. Their distinctive features: durable two-pipe design, successful selection of valves for soft operation of shock absorbers and wear-resistant chrome rod coating.
- SS 20 - the company produces shock absorbers with improved control characteristics compared to standard VAZ struts. The products also provide ride comfort and improve vehicle responsiveness on highways. Among the advantages of shock absorbers: several modifications (“Standard”, “Comfort”, “Sport”), long service life and resistance to extreme loads due to a large volume of fluid and effective cooling.
- KYB (Kayaba) is one of the leading manufacturers that produces the best racks for VAZ and a lot of other cars. The main advantage of his products is Japanese quality; shock absorbers last 60, 80, 100 and even 200 thousand km at medium and fast driving speeds. The company's product range includes high-quality front and rear models for cars of many brands.

Useful tips
Let's start with the fact that some owners decide to install VAZ2110 shock absorbers on the Priora to increase load capacity and improve handling. In fact, it is better to abandon such experiments and immediately purchase a kit for the VAZ 2170. With struts from the “ten”, the Priora becomes more rigid, but the handling deteriorates.
It is also not recommended to install KYB racks for the VAZ 2110 on the Priora. Such modification will require the purchase of collapsible glasses from Priora, installation of other supports, etc.
If we compare KYB and SS20, the second option involves several options for racks. On the one hand, this allows you to select shock absorbers for specific tasks, but Kayaba, presented in only one option, is still better in quality and works well in any conditions.
