A (AndyT): Shock absorbers mounted in a more vertical position stiffens that end of the car.....with the rear shocks mounted more upright this will result in more steering but will also result in less rear traction. Rear shocks mounted more horizontally will result in a softer rear suspension....this will give more rear traction but you'll lose some steering as a result. A (MCRUZ):Standing the shocks will give you a more natural feel and corner speed, but can be harder to drive.

Struts and shocks are very similar in function, but very different in design. The job of both is to control excessive spring motion; however, struts are also a structural component of the suspension. Struts can take the place of two or three conventional suspension components and are often used as a pivot point for steering and to adjust the position of the wheels for alignment purposes.

Shock absorbers work based on velocity, not position. The higher the velocity the stiffer they get. When do you have high head velocity? When you crash. The shocks don't care where your head is when you crash, they are just along for the ride. But when you crash they become almost solid. (Go to top)

kg unladen, even our off-road campers are too light for shock absorbers to be effective, as shockers are really only of benefit when the camper's weight is a ton or more. It's also harder to get shockers repaired if they are damaged while you're off the beaten track. We use Australian made, 7-leaf shackle springs on our off-road campers.

It is under the seat, protected from rain, dirt, and other elements that shorten shock absorber life.

When you test a spring to find out its spring rate you are basically compressing it on top of a set of scales. The very nature of what we are doing here is getting a reading of how much tension this spring has, its also telling us that its transferring 176 lb of force to whatever is on the other side of the spring, in this case scales, in the case of real world installation its the buggy chassis.

Shock absorbers should always be replaced in pairs in order to match the characteristics between each side of the suspension. Unmatched shock absorbers can actually worsen ride and handling problems and make control of the vehicle difficult.

Most modern shock absorbers utilize a twin (dual) tube construction; in order to work properly the inner of the two tubes (working chamber) should stay completely filled with oil. The outer (reserve) tube contains an oil reserve along with air or a pressurized gas. If the unit is mounted inverted (rod side down), the air or gas in the outer chamber can enter the inner working chamber, resulting in poor damping performance.

Yes, adjust preload (spring setting) by moving the adjuster with a spanner wrench or channel lock pliers. Adjust the damping by turning the screw to where you like it. It moves 180? so start at either extreme and adjust it from there.

Our design team finds that the shock towers and trunk floor do not offer the proper surface for bolt fasteners to be of any use. Drilling the required holes for the fastening hardware also weakens the shock towers. Additionally, bolt-on RSTB’s cannot provide the rigidity required for its intended purpose—stiffening and strengthening the rear shock towers in tandem with providing a load path for lateral energy transfer.

Answer: When used in ambient temperatures above our quoted limits, the hydraulic fluid starts to break down, the encapsulated air in the return accumulator expands above it's design volume then eventually the rod seals start to melt and the shock absorber loses its fluid. During this cycle of catastrophic events the efficiency of the shock absorber to function deteriorates towards it's final inevitable failure.

Answer: When used in ambient temperatures below our quoted limits, the type of particular hydraulic fluid and it's characteristic to viscous change, due to temperature change, will be the key criteria in how able the shock absorber performs.

Yes if they are in good condition. It pays to replace the rubber shock bushings and we have a kit for that purpose. Using your old shock absorbers will restrict the downward movement of the axles and for off road use using our EXPLORER PRO COMP or OLD MAN EMU shocks will give better axle articulation as they have a longer stroke.

Sit down, if you’re not already sitting or lying down! If the first shock doesn’t correct the problem you may receive another. You want to avoid further injury as you may fall onto something. Your doctor should have given you instructions on how to proceed. Generally, if you have received multiple shocks they will want to see you immediately. If you have a single shock and you feel fine, you should still give your EP office a call.

Our large diameter certified 1020 DOM tube is mounted to our exclusive ‘Force System’ brackets and is designed as an integral component of our chassis system. As a stand-alone unit, the main tube effectively halts flexing of the rear shock towers. When tied into the HR system, the RSTB functions as the mounting point for our exclusive roll cage that, in turn, ties into our patent pending subframe connectors. The result is an exceptionally stiff chassis with optimal safety.

The RSTB provides the rear mounting platform for the roll cage via X-bracing (as shown in our X-System roll cage image). X-bracing from the top of the main hoop of a roll cage to our 'Force' or X-System RSTB creates a key plane of geometric triangulation: a marraige of the center to the rear portion of the chassis. Non-HR rollcages, if properly designed and modified, can be tied into our 'Force System', as well.

Hyperdynamic Phase (Warm shock): Characterized by a normal to high cardiac output and systemic vasodilation (decreased SVR). Hypodynamic Phase (Cold Shock): Characterized by an inadequate or falling cardiac output, hypotension, and, in some cases, vasoconstriction.

Because of fluid accumulation and the fact that fluid is also conductive, sepsis can alter the normal path of the electrical current transmission used to measure the thoracic bioimpedance, which can affect the ability of ICG technology systems to detect pulsatile changes in the delta Z waveform. Sufficient data has not been acquired to quantify the effect of this condition on the validity of ICG technology data.

Doctors define shock as "circulatory collapse," when blood pressure dips too low to maintain an adequate supply of blood to the body's tissues. Symptoms include cold and sweaty skin, weak and rapid pulse, irregular breathing, dry mouth, dilated pupils, and reduced flow of urine.

Blondes -- with fair skin will be happiest with long-lasting multi-floral creations. Their skin is often dry causing fragrances that are too subtle to evaporate rapidly. Brunettes -- usually have medium-to-dark skin which contains natural oils, allowing scents to last longer. Dramatic Orientals are often favorites. Redheads -- have extremely fair and delicate skin which may be incompatible with fragrances which have predominant green notes.

Biologically active means they provide food for the cell. Other products are not biologically active.

This is usually the case when a u-bolt style pinion yoke is used. The pinion yoke is not the problem the overtightening of the u-bolt is the cause of the failure. You may find that every time you change the damaged rear u-joint you will find that one or both of the journals or caps that are under the u-bolts are destroyed and the ones that are pressed into the shaft are still in good shape. You did it to yourself! 17 ft/lbs for 1310 & 1330 series and 20 ft/lbs on the 1350 series.

This is not an uncommon problem. It probably means that your dog has full or infected anal glands. These glands help dogs to mark their territory through scent. They usually empty themselves every time a dog defecates. They can become clogged, however, and unable to empty, and sometimes infection can develop. When this happens, your dog feels a constant, itchy pressure. It can be very uncomfortable.To get your dog relief, make an appointment with your veterinarian.

Some Touaregs come with cup holders for the rear seats, and some do not. At first, it seemed that only V8 Touaregs included these cup holders, but recent reports indicate that some V6 models do included them as well. Touareg owners who did not get the cup holders have reported that they have been able to obtain them and have a dealer install them. We suspect that there was a cost associated with this upgrade.

this time we do not make a rear exhaust kit for any of our cars, however you can use our #A870 "can" type muffler to simulate a rear exhaust. This replaces the stock side exhaust on our Nitro car kits. The #A870 muffler comes stock on the Super Nitro RS4. With T-connectors and wide silicone tubing you can make a convincing dual rear exhaust!

Answer: Septic Shock is an infection in the bloodstream, associated with fluid accumulation and hypotension.

Yes. However, it requires the proper welding skills, safety precautions and the use of a TIG (GTAW) or MIG (SMAW) welder.

Yes, our service and tuning work will void your Fox 1 year warranty. We do offer a limited 90 day warranty on all service work.

Start with body weight in the main air chamber. Get on the bike with all your riding gear, including water in the Camelbak, now check suspension sag. To do this, pull the little O-ring up on the shock shaft; now get off the bike gingerly as to not upset that measurement. Once off the bike, measure how much shock shaft is exposed above the O-ring. For proper setup you should measure about 30% of sag from total stroke.
