In the car, they have one of the most important roles in impacting the car. When cars pass over bumps or obstacles or potholes in the streets, these are the shock absorbers that fix and repel the shocks and vibrations so that the car room and passengers are not hit.
  The absence of shock absorbers in the car causes the car to go up and down on bumps and road surfaces, especially on the brakes, and the car and its passengers are hit hard. The role of shock absorbers in the system of automobiles is very colorful, harmful and important, and in the absence of shock absorbers, cars will be useless and damaged in a very short period of time.
In this article, I am going to talk about the types of shock absorbers and their advantages.

What is a shock absorber?

Shock absorbers are one of the most important parts in the car suspension system, which are located next to each car wheel in different shapes and sizes. The shock absorbers in each wheel reduce the shocks to the car to the lowest possible level so that there is no impact on the front bumper and the passenger compartment, and one of the other functions of the shock absorbers is to prevent the car from shaking.
  If the shock absorber of a car is damaged, it becomes almost impossible to pass bumps and uneven surfaces because the car and the driver's room are hit. The shock absorber opens and closes when the car is moving on uneven surfaces. Shock absorbers have different types based on their type and tasks, which we mention below. In total, almost all shock absorbers used in cars are made of parts such as springs in different sizes, shock absorber bases, and auxiliary shock absorbers. The spring, shock absorber shaft, shaft head valve, gas and ball are formed for the shock absorber head.
 
Types of car shock absorbers

Shock absorbers are made of different types according to the weight, size and type of car in which they are used, and each type of shock absorber has its own settings. For example, in cargo cars, the shock absorbers are set hard so that they can bear the weight of the load, but in normal cars, the shock absorbers are set soft so that the impact does not enter the car room and driving is easier for the driver and passengers.

-Hydraulic (oil) spring assistance

Most of the shock absorbers used for cars are usually oil shock absorbers. Oil is used in this shock absorber, and after a shock hits the car, the oil in the shock absorber returns to the shock absorber after the spring is opened, and it causes the shock absorbers to repel the vibrations entering the car's room.

2-Hydrostatic spring assistance

Instead of oil, nitrogen gas and other gases are used in hydrostatic shock absorbers, and when the shock absorber is hit, the available gases prevent the formation of air bubbles and the shock absorber performs better.
 
Telescopic shock absorber

Telescopic shock absorbers are one of the types of oil shock absorbers that have a very high impact strength. In this type of shock absorber, the chambers that exist for the oil to escape in telescopic shock absorbers are much larger, and this causes the shock absorber to collect faster after the impact, and when the oil is opened, it returns to the chamber through smaller holes and causes that the spring does not open quickly and more vibrations are taken. Driving cars with telescopic shock absorbers is much easier for the driver and passengers.

Lever shock absorber

In this type of shock absorbers, there is a lever that applies pressure to the piston and causes the spring to retract faster and open at a slower speed, which are installed in this way due to the slower release of oil. Lever shock absorbers reduce the vibrations to the car more than other shock absorbers and make driving better.

  In the following articles, we are going to talk about the signs of shock absorber failure, what to do to increase the lifespan of shock absorbers, and the impact of shock absorber failure on other components.
