Shock absorber

The Shock absorber assembly is a mono tube design. The lower end of the Shock absorber is fitted with a yoke which is attached to the rear lower arm. The Shock absorber yoke also includes a location hole for the stabilizer link.

The Shock absorber functions by restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the Shock absorber. The Shock absorber rod moves axially within the Shock absorber, its movement limited by the flow of fluid through the galleries, providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The Shock absorber rod is sealed at its exit point from the Shock absorber body to maintain the fluid within the unit and to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also incorporates a wiper to keep the rod clean.
