GM has filed a patent application for an adaptive shock absorber with a mechanical design, potentially reducing complexity ...

The “shock” is a suspension component that controls the up-and-down motion of a vehicle’s wheels. Though the devices provide some shock absorption, the job of absorbing shocks is handled mostly by the ...

According to a team of mechanical engineers from Stony Brook University, only 10-16 percent of the fuel energy is used to drive the car during everyday usage – that is, to overcome the resistance from ...

It's smooth going with these rugged and reliable shocks for your truck. When it comes to selecting the best shocks for your truck, the choices and the applications are about as varied as beer ...

Despite the continual innovation in the shocks market, price pressure from OEMs remains intense, effectively dampening revenue growth. Here, Matthew Beecham talks with Andrew Tress, sales manager for ...

The terms "shock" and "strut" are often colloquially used to refer to the same part, perhaps because they both operate within a car's suspension apparatus. Structurally, however, they are distinctly ...

The shock absorbers of your Chevrolet Avalanche help to isolate the bed and body from the road as you drive. Without shocks or with worn-out shocks, your truck would ride as if it were a dingy in ...

Let's face the facts: When it comes to suspension components, some are easier to understand than others. Springs control height and load. You can see all of the parts, and they are fairly easy to ...

A team of undergraduate students at MIT have developed a shock absorber that actually generates electricity from bumps in the road. This results in up to a 10 percent improvement in overall vehicle ...

As hot rodders many of us are constantly messing with our cars, swapping induction systems, wheels, and so on ... because they're never really finished, right? So why is it some components fall into ...

Our cars are built using thousands of parts that do not last forever, even if we would like them to. That is especially true for components of the suspension system, which take a lot of beating daily.
