[QUOTE="Earlybay1, post: 635011, member: 28615"] The correct term for them are dampers which regulate the "up /down" movement. All manufacturers/suppliers even call them shocks! Even Google has it wrong and wikipedia calls it both! Springs for vehicles are shock absorbers. (there are many types of springs for many applications) Imagine what would happen if you drove your vehicle without springs. You would be driving a roller skate as the "shock absorbers" would bottom out against the bump stops if you have any! I am sure you all have experienced what weak or dead dampers feel like. [/QUOTE]
