Excel - G Rear Gas Shock Absorber (Set) - 554011
A shock absorber, also known as a damper, is a mechanical device designed to control and dampen the motion of a vehicle's suspension system. It is typically located between the vehicle's frame or body and the wheels. The primary function of a shock absorber is to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy generated by the up-and-down movement of the suspension springs, which helps maintain tire contact with the road surface and provides a smoother and more comfortable ride.
Shock absorbers work by converting the kinetic energy into heat energy. They consist of a piston that moves up and down within a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid or gas. When the wheel encounters a bump or disturbance on the road, the shock absorber's piston compresses the fluid or gas, creating resistance against the spring's movement. This resistance slows down and controls the spring's motion, preventing excessive bouncing, vibrations, and instability.
