2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   While shock absorbers serve the purpose of limiting excessive suspension movement, their intended main purpose is to damp spring oscillations. Shock absorbers use valving of oil and gasses to absorb excess energy from the springs. Spring rates are chosen by the manufacturer based on the weight of the vehicle, loaded and unloaded.

3. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   A desert race vehicle, which must routinely absorb far higher impact forces, might be provided with pneumatic or hydro-pneumatic bump-stops. These are essentially miniature shock absorbers (dampers) that are fixed to the vehicle in a location, such, that the suspension will contact the end of the piston when it nears the upward travel limit.

4. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

   Use shock absorbers, shock mounts, or cushions to control the shock transmitted to the item. Cushioning [18] reduces the peak acceleration by extending the duration of the shock. Plan for failures: accept certain losses. Have redundant systems available, etc.

5. Lever arm shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_arm_shock_absorber

   The spindle of the shock absorber now became the upper suspension pivot, usually double-ended. One of the last mass-production sports cars to still use lever arm shock absorbers was the MG B. [8] This had a lever arm shock absorber as the upper wishbone. A popular handling upgrade in later years was to fit telescopic shock absorbers instead.

6. MacPherson strut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

   Yellow: Tubular housing containing shock absorber or damper Lower green: Vehicle frame or unibody member. The MacPherson strut is a type of automotive suspension system that uses the top of a telescopic damper as the upper steering pivot. It is widely used in the front suspension of modern vehicles.
