What does a shock absorber do?
A shock absorber doesn’t support the weight of the vehicle; that’s the job of the springs.
Shock absorbers control the movement of the springs and suspension to keep the vehicle stable, controlled and comfortable.
A shock absorber's role is to:
- Dampen spring movement and bounce
- Maintain tyre contact with the road
- Improve handling and stability
- Enhance ride comfort
Choosing the right shock comes down to how the vehicle is used, what it carries and what you expect from your suspension.
