  Shock absorber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shock absorbers are an important part of automobile suspensions, aircraft landing gear, and the supports for many industrial machines.
Without shock absorbers, the vehicle would have a bouncing ride, as energy is stored in the spring and then released to the vehicle, possibly exceeding the allowed range of suspension movement.
Specialized shock absorbers for racing purposes may allow the front end of a dragster to rise with minimal resistance under acceleration, then strongly resist letting it settle, thereby maintaining a desirable rearward weight distribution for enhanced traction.

 shock absorber. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
On an automobile, springs and shock absorbers are mounted between the wheels and the frame.
The type of shock absorber found on automobiles is usually a hydraulic type that has a casing consisting of two tubes, one telescoping into the other.
Shock absorbers are used on aircraft to ease the impact upon landing.

 Shock Absorber Tuning
With shock tuning for balance, you are choosing a particular transient (corner phase), a movement of the car, where you can wedge or de-wedge the car, sometimes to increase overall grip and at other times, to make the car more progressive for the driver.
With shock tuning for balance, we are wedging and de-weding the car (or leaving wedge unchanged), just as we do for with springs and antiroll bars, except that shocks are only applying loads while they are moving in bump or re-bound (transients).
All that is happening is the stiff shock overpowering the springs and bars, and the chassis is jacked down a bit, until the springs/bars take all the load away from the shock.

 Monroe Technical Support - What is a Shock Absorber?
Instead, the primary purpose of the shock absorber is to control spring and suspension movement.
The amount of resistance a shock absorber develops depends on the speed of the suspension and the number and size of the orifices in the piston.
Shock absorbers work on the principle of fluid displacement on both the compression and extension cycle.

 Directory:Power-Generating Shock Absorber - PESWiki
An electromagnetic linear generator and regenerative electromagnetic shock absorber is disclosed which converts variable frequency, repetitive intermittent linear displacement motion to useful electrical power.
As a regenerative shock absorber, the disclosed device is capable of converting parasitic displacement motion and vibrations encountered under normal urban driving conditions to a useful electrical energy for powering vehicles and accessories or charging batteries in electric and fossil fuel powered vehicles.
A conventional automotive shock absorber dampens suspension movement to produce a controlled action that keeps the tire firmly on the road.

 Shocks - Shock Absorber - Auto Shocks - Car Shocks - Rancho Shock - Bilstein Shock
The name "shock absorber" is self-explanatory: Car shocks and truck shocks absorb the up-and-down shock created by the springs when you hit a bump.
Shock absorbers don't just smooth the ride; they also keep the car or truck controllable after a bump, and that's always a good thing.
All of our auto shocks are produced to OE or better specification from leading shock absorber manufacturers.

 Shock Absorber Theory
More specifically, motion applied to the piston of a hydraulic shock absorber pressurizes the fluid and forces it to flow through restricting orifices, causing the fluid to heat rapidly.
It is important to understand the differences that exist between the standard automotive-style shock absorber and the industrial shock absorber.
The automotive type maintains a damping force which varies in direct proportion to the velocity of the piston, while the damping force in the industrial type varies in proportion to the square of the piston velocity.

 Replacing Shock Absorbers
The point of no return is determined by your ability to remove the fasteners that hold the old shock absorber units.
Check the hardware that is included with the shock, since you may need to buy an additional hardware kit to replace the original rusted or broken fasteners.
Raise the jack just enough to take the load off the shock or to the point where the shock absorber bolt can be removed.
