๐Here are some fun facts about automotive shock absorbers :
โ
- Modern shocks use hydraulic fluid and a piston to regulate the compression and rebound of the springs. Nitrogen gas is also added to the fluid reservoir for added pressure.
โ
- Shock absorbers are filled with a hydraulic fluid or mineral oil that is temperature stable to function properly in hot and cold weather. Special fluids are used for high performance or racing applications.
โ
- There are mono-tube and twin-tube shock designs. Twin-tube units separate fluid passages for better temperature control and damping control while mono-tube designs are more affordable.
โ
- Regular replacement of shock absorbers is recommended, usually every 30,000-50,000 miles. Worn shocks negatively impact braking, handling and tire wear due to excess vehicle movement.
โ
- Performance shocks are tuned for better handling, grip and ride control for improved performance driving while off-road shocks are increased in size for rugged terrain.
