Haima S5 Left Front Shock Cushion – Part No.: SA12-34-380

Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “rubber pad” in your Haima S5’s front end. It’s the key helper for the left front shock absorber that softens bumps and protects the suspension: a flexible, tough unit made of high-elasticity rubber (or a rubber-polyurethane mix), with built-in clips to lock it tightly in place. Mounted on the Haima S5’s left front shock absorber—usually between the shock’s top mount and the car’s chassis, or wrapped around the shock’s piston rod—it works with the main shock absorber to make your ride smoother and prevent suspension damage. Without it, you’d feel more jolts in the cabin, and the left front shock absorber would wear out fast from metal-on-metal impacts.

This left front shock cushion is exclusive to Haima S5—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the S5’s specs: its thickness and elasticity match the left front shock’s stroke (so it absorbs bumps just right), its size fits the shock’s mounting points perfectly (no wiggling), and its material handles the S5’s front-end weight (won’t flatten or crack easily). Grab a generic cushion or one for other models? You’ll run into trouble: too soft (can’t absorb impacts), too hard (adds extra vibration), or wrong size (slips off the shock absorber).

 Core Jobs: Soften Bumps, Protect Shocks & Quiet Noise

As a must-have for the S5’s left front suspension, it does three big jobs to keep driving smooth and your shock intact:

Absorb leftover road bumps: When you hit potholes, speed bumps, or rough pavement, the S5’s left front shock absorber handles most impact—but this cushion soaks up the “extra jolts” it misses. That mea4ns less bouncing in the driver’s seat (no sore back on long drives) and more stable control of the left front wheel.

Stop the shock from “crashing”: The shock absorber has a piston rod that moves up and down. If it moves too far, it slams into the shock’s metal cylinder—causing oil leaks or broken pistons. This cushion acts as a “stopper”: it limits the rod’s movement, preventing costly shock damage.

Quiet suspension noise: When the left front shock moves, it rubs slightly against the chassis. The cushion’s soft material dampens this friction—no more creaky, clunky noises from the left front wheel when you drive over bumps.

SA12-34-380

This SA12-34-380 left front shock cushion only fits Haima S5—wrong fit means suspension problems:

Fits These: All Haima S5 variants (matches the left front shock absorber size, mounting points, and suspension stroke—confirm with VIN).

Won’t Fit These:

Other Haima models: Like Haima S7, 7X, or M3—different front shock designs, sizes, and chassis mounting spots (cushion can’t attach or work).

Non-Haima vehicles: Even if it looks similar, their suspension specs (shock stroke, weight) differ (no functional fit; may damage the shock absorber).

S5 with modified front suspension: Aftermarket lift kits or upgraded shocks change the shock’s stroke length—original cushion is too short/long (can’t stop the shock from crashing).

 Installation & Upkeep (Pros Help, But Easy to Maintain!)

Installation: Best Left to Certified Technicians

Replacing this cushion involves working with the front suspension—professional installation avoids misalignment:

Prep: Techs safely lift the S5, remove the left front wheel, and disconnect the left front shock absorber from the chassis (using a jack to support the suspension).

Swap the cushion: They slide off the old, worn cushion, clean the shock’s mounting area (wipe away dirt), then snap SA12-34-380 into place (line up the clips with the shock’s grooves).

Secure & test: They reattach the shock absorber to the chassis (tighten bolts to Haima’s torque specs), put the wheel back on, and test drive—checking for smooth rides and no left front suspension noise.

Maintenance: Simple Checks to Keep It Working

Inspect every 30,000 km: Have techs check for cracks, hardening, or bulging in the rubber—worn cushions can’t absorb impacts (you’ll feel more bumps).

Clean it regularly: When washing the S5, wipe the cushion with a damp cloth to remove mud or road salt—salt eats away at rubber (shortens its life).

Avoid high-speed potholes: Hitting deep potholes fast slams the shock absorber into the cushion—too much force can tear the rubber (take it slow over rough spots!).

Check for slipping: If you hear a new “thunk” from the left front, the cushion might have slipped—get it repositioned immediately (prevents shock damage).

Summary: Haima S5 Left Front Shock Cushion (SA12-34-380)

Exclusive to Haima S5 (confirm VIN for fitment), this cushion is a flexible, tough unit made of high-elasticity rubber or rubber-polyurethane mix, with built-in clips for secure attachment. Mounted on the S5’s left front shock absorber (between the shock’s top mount & chassis or around the piston rod), it assists the main shock absorber.

Key roles: Absorb leftover road bumps (reducing cabin jolts and stabilizing the left front wheel); prevent the shock piston from slamming into the metal cylinder (avoiding oil leaks or damage); dampen suspension friction noise.

It fits all S5 variants but not other Haima models (e.g., S7, 7X), non-Haima vehicles, or S5 with modified front suspension.

Professional installation is recommended. Maintenance: Inspect every 30,000km (check for rubber cracks/hardening), clean regularly, avoid high-speed potholes, and reposition if slipping. Original parts ensure proper fit, elasticity, and durability.
