What is a car shock absorber?

A car shock absorber is a component of the suspension system that dampens spring vibrations and controls wheel movement when hitting a bump. This ensures the wheel remains in contact with the road, improving driving stability and safety.

What is a McPherson strut?

The McPherson strut is a suspension design in which the shock absorber, spring, and upper mount form a single unit. This solution is used in many cars, such as the BMW E87, BMW E90, and Volkswagen Golf 5.

What are rear shock absorbers for?

Rear shock absorbers stabilize the rear axle of the vehicle, improve wheel traction and reduce body roll during acceleration and cornering.

Do shock absorbers affect braking distance?

Yes. A functioning shock absorber keeps the wheel in contact with the road. Technical studies show that worn shock absorbers can extend braking distances by up to several meters at 80 km/h.

What shock absorbers are used in the BMW E60?

The BMW E60 uses gas-oil shock absorbers, both in the standard suspension configuration and in the sport versions of the M package.

What shock absorbers are used in the Volkswagen Golf 5?

The Volkswagen Golf V has a McPherson strut at the front and shock absorbers working in conjunction with a torsion beam at the rear.

Why do shock absorbers affect driving comfort?

Shock absorbers dampen vibrations generated when driving over bumps. This prevents the vehicle's body from excessive movement, maintaining a stable and comfortable ride.
