Introduction:
Two front shock absorbers are connected from the front suspension to the chassis, and two rear shock absorbers are attached between the rear suspension and the chassis.
Purpose of the shock absorber:
Shock absorbers have three main purposes:
1. They control spring action and oscillations to provide the desired ride quality.
2. They help prevent body sway and lean while cornering.
3. They reduce the tendency of a tire tread to lift off the road, which improves tire life, traction, and directional stability.
Shock absorber design is matched to the deflection rate of the coil spring to control the spring action. Several different types of shock absorbers are available for special service requirements.
