Dodge Shock
The primary objective of the Dodge shocks is to manage the
up and down motion of the wheels and the tires of your vehicle. So if
you feel an abnormal up and down movement for about a mile after you
hit that bump in the road, then more often than not, there is a problem
with your stock shocks.
But how do the Dodge shock absorbers work? The basic purpose of the
shock absorber is to manage the movement of the springs and suspensions
by converting the kinetic energy produced by the suspension to thermal
or heat energy, which is degenerated by means of a hydraulic fluid.
This product works like an oil pump, with the piston that works with
the hydraulic fluid on the vehicle’s pressure tube mounted at one end
of the piston rod. The up and down movement of the suspension forces
the hydraulic fluid into the holes inside the piston. Since the holes
are tiny enough, the piston slows down and thus decreases the movement
of the suspension and the springs.
The resistance produced by the shock absorber is dependent on the
quantity and size of the holes in the piston and the speed of the
suspension movement. Some newly-released shock absorbers are equipped
with a velocity hydraulic damping device which provides increased speed
in the movement of the suspension to attain greater resistance. The
outcome is a versatile shock absorber that can easily adapt to any road
hazard.
Whenever you encounter that big hump over
the road, worry no more if you have the shocks installed in your Dodge.
The bounces, sways, brake dives, and acceleration squats will be
reduced with the help of the Dodge shocks.
