Rear Lift Shock Absorber +40 mm Mitsubishi Pajero II (V20) Raptor
A Raptor 4x4 rear shock absorber from the performance line, dedicated to the Mitsubishi Pajero II (V20) with a +40 mm lift. Twin-action, mixed oil/gas construction with a medium-load characteristic. The logical partner to the +40 mm rear springs from the same range.
Raptor 4x4 Rear Shock Absorber +40 mm — Mitsubishi Pajero II (V20)
The rear of a Pajero does the hardest work: that is where the gear, the spare wheel and the whole expedition build end up. Once +40 mm springs go in, the factory damper is left with too little stroke and damping tuned for a completely different ride height — and it is usually the first component to give up.
This Raptor 4x4 unit was made specifically for the lifted second-generation Pajero. The manufacturer builds it as a twin-action damper on mixed oil/gas technology and places it in the performance line, with a characteristic described as medium load and suited to any type of vehicle use.

Key benefits
- Stroke matched to a +40 mm lift — the suspension uses its full travel instead of hitting the bump stop on every larger hollow.
- Twin-action damping covers compression and rebound, which noticeably reduces body roll with a loaded rear end.
- Mixed oil/gas construction keeps the compliance of an oil damper while coping better with sustained work over rough ground.
- Medium-load characteristic — a sensible compromise for a car that carries luggage without running permanently overloaded.
- Pajero II fitment — dimensions and mountings match the platform, with no modifications required.

- Load rating: medium
Who it is for: a Pajero II running a +40 mm lift, particularly one that genuinely carries load. If you are fitting Raptor 4x4 +40 mm rear springs, this damper is their direct counterpart — both parts were engineered for the same ride height.
Fitting notes
The manufacturer catalogues this code as a single damper, so the rear axle needs two. Always replace in pairs; a new unit alongside a worn one gives uneven damping. Fitting itself uses the factory mounting points, with no cutting or welding.
Why it is worth it
- A damper engineered for one specific lift height rather than picked by eye from a cross-reference list.
- Twin-action, mixed oil/gas construction instead of the simplest available design.
- Part of a coherent +40 mm family of components for the Pajero II.
Take a pair and add the matching +40 mm rear springs — the back of the car regains both capacity and control in one go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the price cover one damper or a pair?
The manufacturer catalogues code 21152 as a single rear shock absorber; the rear axle requires two.
Does it fit a car without a lift?
It is not intended for one. The product listing describes it specifically as a damper for a +40 mm lift on the Pajero II (V20).
How is it built?
Twin-action, mixed oil/gas technology, from the Raptor 4x4 performance line.
Can it be combined with the Raptor 4x4 +40 mm rear springs?
Yes — both parts come from the same product family engineered around a 40 mm lift on the Pajero II.
