First, let’s fix a common misunderstanding: the Chery Tiggo Cushion-Shock Absorber T11-2901110 isn’t the full shock absorber itself—it’s a super important “buffer piece” that works with your Tiggo’s shock absorbers (also called dampers) to soften impacts and protect the whole suspension system. Think of it like a “shock absorber for your shock absorber”: it’s usually a flexible, tough part (made of rubber or reinforced polyurethane) that fits on either the top or bottom of the shock absorber. Its job? To take the edge off big impacts—like when you hit a deep pothole or a tall speed bump—so your ride stays smooth, and the shock absorber doesn’t get damaged from hard metal-on-metal smacks.
This cushion-shock absorber only fits Chery Tiggo models built on the T11 platform—mostly the early Tiggo 3 models (2005–2012, so double-check your VIN or owner’s manual to be sure!). It’s designed to fit perfectly with the T11 platform’s shock absorber size and suspension setup: the inner hole slides
right over the shock absorber’s rod with no gaps, the outer shape lines up with the suspension mount, and its thickness and flexibility are tuned to work with the Tiggo’s 1.6L/2.0L engine weight and chassis design. If you slap on a generic cushion? You’ll run into problems like weird suspension noises, a bumpy ride, even your shock absorber dying early—’cause cheap material just can’t absorb impacts the right way.
Don’t let its small size trick you—this cushion-shock absorber does 4 big things to keep your Tiggo driving smoothly and your suspension in good shape:
Takes the edge off big impacts: When you hit a rough patch (like a deep pothole or a curb), the shock absorber compresses all the way to its limit. This cushion acts as a “buffer” between the shock absorber and the suspension mount—so instead of hard metal slamming together, the cushion squishes to soak up that extra force. No more jarring “thuds” that shake the whole car—even your bones!
Protects your shock absorber: If you didn’t have this cushion, the shock absorber’s metal parts would smack into the suspension frame every time you hit a hard
bump. Over time, that’d cause cracks or bends in the shock absorber’s rod—leading to leaking oil and a shock that doesn’t work. And when your shock’s dead? Your car bounces like a boat on the road.

This T11-2901110 cushion-shock absorber only fits Chery Tiggo models on the T11 platform—it won’t work for other cars, and using the wrong one will wreck your suspension. Here’s exactly what it fits (and what it doesn’t):
It’s made for Chery Tiggo 3 models on the T11 platform, built between 2005 and 2012. It works for both front and rear shock absorbers—just check your owner’s manual first: some T11 versions use the same cushion for front and rear, others have tiny differences, but T11-2901110 is the standard one for most.
Newer Chery Tiggo models (like the Tiggo 5 or Tiggo 7): These have bigger, newer shock absorbers with different rod sizes. So this cushion’ll be too small or too big, making it fit loosely—and that causes all sorts of issues.
Other Chery models (e.g., the QQ or A3): Their suspension systems are smaller and lighter-weight. This cushion’s thickness and flexibility are all wrong for ’em, so you’ll end up with a stiff or bouncy ride.
Non-Chery vehicles: Even if it “looks close,” the inner hole size and outer shape won’t line up. You’ll get weird noises, a bad fit, or even damage to your shocks.
You gotta use Chery’s original T11 shock absorbers with this cushion—like part numbers T11-2901010 for the front or T11-2902010 for the rear. Aftermarket shocks might have different rod widths, so the cushion won’t fit snugly. That loose fit? It’ll lead to noise and shock damage fast.
This cushion is easy to install, but it’s usually replaced when you service or swap out your shock absorbers—’cause you need to take the shock off to get to the cushion. Here’s how techs do it (you can DIY if you have basic tools, but pros are quicker):
Take off the shock absorber: Jack your Tiggo up, remove the wheel, then unbolt the shock absorber from the suspension mount and the lower control arm.
Pull off the old cushion: Slide the old cushion off the shock’s rod—it might be tight, so use a flathead screwdriver to pry it off gently. Don’t scratch or bend the rod, though!
Install the new cushion: Slide the T11-2901110 cushion onto the rod—make sure the flange lines up with the suspension mount. Then bolt the shock absorber back on, tighten the bolts to Chery’s specs—don’t crank ’em too tight, or you’ll break something!—and put the wheel back on.

Summary
The original T11-2901110 actually passes Chery’s tests with flying colors—it can hold up through over 100,000 compression cycles, doesn’t get messed up by bad weather, and fits like a glove. It’s just a little part, but it saves you from dropping big money on suspension repairs later down the road.
Bottom line, the Chery Tiggo Cushion-Shock Absorber T11-2901110 is the “unsung hero” when it comes to a smooth ride. It takes the edge off bumps, protects your shock absorbers, and keeps your Tiggo handling nice and steady. Stick with the original part, swap it out when it’s worn, and your suspension’ll stay in great shape for tons of miles—no more bumpy, loud drives!
