Electronic Suspension Control Shock Absorber or Strut

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ESC shock absorbers are monotube type which provide damping by increasing magnetic flux to magnetic particles to resist suspension movement. The ESC shock absorber has the capability of providing multiple modes or values of damping forces, in both compression and rebound direction. The damping forces are achieved by increasing or decreasing the magnetic flux to shock absorbers.

The front ESC actuator connector is located at the base of the shock absorber. The rear ESC actuator connector is at the top of the shock absorber. Both front and rear shock absorbers have jumper harnesses for ease of maintenance.
