A shock absorber is a vital suspension component designed to control the movement of a vehicle’s suspension and improve ride quality. It works by dampening the impact of road irregularities and reducing oscillations caused by bumps or uneven surfaces. Shock absorbers convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through hydraulic or gas mechanisms. They enhance vehicle stability, handling, and safety. Available in various types such as hydraulic, gas-filled, and adjustable, shock absorbers are used in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks.
