Rear Shock Absorber Arrangement



Rear Shock Absorber Arrangement

Operation
As a shock absorber rod rises and falls in unison with road spring movement, that movement is damped by controlling the flow of fluid from one end of a chamber to the other within each shock absorber. Any increase in the restriction of fluid flow within a shock absorber results in a corresponding increase in damping action and a firmer ride.
