Shocks are part of the overall suspension, and a strut is a complete suspension assembly. The shocks and/or struts in your car perform two functions. They dampen spring oscillation, and secondly ...

Shock Absorber Struts A strut is a structural piece designed to resist pressure in the direction of its length. On typical "McPherson Strut" use, the shock absorber is built into the strut.

Shock absorbers are vital components in a vehicle’s suspension system, specifically designed to reduce the bumps and jolts experienced while traversing uneven terrains or obstacles. A highly ...

Read about hot rod shock absorbers and see pictures of the New Traditionalist Speedshocks from SO-CAL Speed Shop installed into a T Roadster, inside Rod & Custom Magazine.

How Long Do Shock Absorbers Last? Shocks are wear- and tear-resistant and last for quite a while. They don’t go out all at once and, because of that, can serve you for about 50,000-100,000 miles.

Shock Absorber - Shock Dyno - Reading Between The Lines. When It Comes To Keeping All Four Tires Planted On The Ground, ... Linear shocks were the next big advance in shock technology.

If it continues to go up and down at all, the shock is worn out. I have to say that we replace shocks far less frequently than we used to. We used to routinely replace shocks at 30,000 or 40,000 ...

But as speeds rose, so did the need for suspension damping. Early shock absorbers, which persisted into the 1930s, tended to be so-called friction dampers.

Stocker Star series shock absorbers are direct bolt-ons for 1963-’04 Vettes. Its Pro Coil shocks and springs system provides ride control and height adjustability for 1997-’04 C5s.
