| + | The shock absorbers control the spring action, slowing it down on both depression and rebound and thus prevent bouncing. Shock absorbers are usually fitted with the frame of the vehicle and the operating lever is connected with the axle by means of a link. As the axle goes up due to road bumps, the shock absorber is operated by the lever through the link. The shock absorber resists the effect due to road shocks and thus helps in absorbing the shock. | ||
