shock absorber
- Provides mechanical or hydraulic friction to control deflection of automobile springs
- Oil in the shocks is forced through small passages to absorb the force of a road shock
- Pressurized gas is used in many shock absorbers to prevent aeration of the oil. This reduces the tendency of the shock to overheat on rough road surfaces.
