Shocks
How do they work ?
Shock absorbers slow down and reduce vibration by turning the kinetic energy of the suspension movement into heat energy, and then dispersing this heat energy through hydraulic fluid.
Shock absorbers work in two cycles: the compression cycle and the extension cycle.
When the wheel travels upwards causing the spring and shock absorber to shorten, the shock absorber is said to be in COMPRESSION STROKE.
When the road wheel starts to move back down, the shock absorber is lengthened and said to be in REBOUND OR EXTENSION.
A typical car or light truck will have more resistance during its extension cycle than its compression cycle. The faster the suspension moves, the more resistance the shock absorber provides. This enables shocks to adjust to road conditions and to control all of the unwanted motions that can occur in a moving vehicle, including bounce, sway, brake dive and acceleration squat.
