It keeps the body of the car from bouncing around. The springs help the car ride smooth.
The purpose of a shock absorber in a car is to smooth out or damp shock impact, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a mechanical device used in the car and it is a type of dashpot.
Or wheel and tyre.
who invented the first airship
A shock absorber can be found underneath the engine in a car between the engine and the wheels. It is is used to absorb the impact that the wheels hitting the road can have on the car. It can be seen and accessed from beneath the car.
A strut is a combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring
To select the correct coil over shock absorb-er depends on the location it is mounted. Shocks mounted in the front should be more stiff while the back should be softer for traction this is assuming it is rear wheel drive.
check your shock absorber
Check under the hood by the right shock absorber tower or along the frame rail under the car towards to rear
You can check a shcok absorber by bouncing one corner of a car. The shock absorber simply, as the name, assorbs the energy from movement into heat. By bouncing the corner of the car, when you stop, if the car continues to bounce more than approx 2 times it is likely to be on its way out as it is no longer absorbing the energy as it should. My old car would bound 5-6 times. A shock absorber is effectivly a dampner, like that on your car boot that aids you opening/ shutting the boot. If you open/ shut the boot several times in a row you will feel the dampner warm up.
