Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...

But before we take a peek inside the automotive damper, and in particular examine the pros and cons of mono-tube and twin-tube shock absorber design, let’s quickly review what exactly a shock’s job is ...

Friction springs act as buffers to absorb and dampen high levels of kinetic energy from a moving mass. They also work as overload-protection devices and handle high forces in a relatively small ...
