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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Both treatments accomplish the goal of destroying and removing bather waste and preventing the formation of combined chlorine. Superchlorination, the addition of large amounts of chlorine, has some drawbacks. Because it requires large amounts of chlorine, it can damage liners and swimsuits and upset water balance. Additionally, it is difficult to determine proper dosage amounts and it requires swimmers to wait until the level of chlorine drops, often a day or more, until they can swim.

Shock springs are classified by spring rate, which is the stiffness of a spring, i.e., its resistance to being compressed. A stiffer spring (one with a higher spring rate) will require more force to become compressed, and will release more energy as it rebounds. Using stiffer springs on your shocks will make the vehicle's suspension respond more quickly, but less likely to absorb smaller bumps. Softer springs will respond more slowly, but will allow the suspension to better absorb small bumps.

No, installation of a shock-buff shortens the stroke of the slide and may lead to an erratic ejection pattern and even malfunctions. It is imperative that shock-buffs not be used in Commander length and shorter pistols

Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include swelling in the mouth and throat, wheezing, difficulty breathing, hives, fainting, and drop in blood pressure. This is caused by the cells in the body releasing large amounts of histamines into the blood. This type of reaction is rare and can be caused by allergic reactions to foods, medications, or insect stings. Anaphylactic shock is a medical emergency and can cause death if not treated immediately.

There are many levels of shock that can go from dangerous to life threatening very quickly. If the body is cold, raise the temperature. If the person is hot, lower their temperature with cold compresses. Of course remember the old adage, "the face is red, raise the head; the face is pale, raise the tail."

Use a chlorine shock only at start-up. Use a non-chlorine shock or chlorine shock during the pool season. Follow the manufacturer's directions for use.

The medical term for the very onerous sounding "shock fall out" is "effluvium" which literally means shedding. It is usually the miniaturized hair i.e. the hair that is at the end of its lifespan due to genetic balding that is most likely to be shed. Less likely, some healthy hair will be shed, but this should regrow. Rarely, but sometimes, we notice some shedding of hair from a prior transplant when transplants are spaced less than one year apart. However, this hair grows back completely.

Because they are a relatively new tool on the food preservation and storage market, oxygen absorbers have not yet achieved a widespread dissemination amongst the various storage food dealers and suppliers. They are available, but you may have to do a bit of searching to find them. In addition to the above suppliers it may be possible to acquire oxygen absorbers through a LDS family cannery if you have one locally available. *Please see section IV.A.

No, we do not sell waste ink absorbers as the installation procedure requires specialist technical knowledge. Failure to follow correct procedures can cause damage to the printer and cause the printer to leak ink.

A non-chlorine spa shock is buffered as to not affect the ph or total alkalinity. The non-chlorine pool shock will lower the pH and alkalinity if used.

Answer: A Linear decelerator or Shock absorber when compared to a Mechanical Stop, Spring, Rubber Buffer or an air cylinder cushion (Dashpot) is better because :- Production equipment that has Linear decelerators installed has a high cycle rate, shorter downtime, providing longer life of the equipment.

Answer: The stroke equates to the distance over which the mass is brought to rest and therefore it directly relates to the deceleration rate. It is generally best to select the longest stroke you can accommodate as it provides the maximum absorption and lowest deceleration rate, at a minimal additional cost.

Answer: Adjustable shock absorbers can be set most accurately to suit the effective weight of an application, consequently reducing the peak reaction force to the minimum. Adjustable shock absorbers are best suited to an application where the mass, propelling force, impact velocity and cycle rate remain constant. Self compensating shock absorbers are well suited when a pair or more are impacted in parallel.

Answer: You can use only part of the stroke however it is important to try and use the last part. This is because If you use part of the stroke up to the end of the stroke you will get a linear deceleration effect bringing the mass close to rest, you will not however be able to utilise the full energy capacity available or the lowest deceleration rate. You may find it more akward to adjust the shock absorber and in some cases the mass may bounce back.

For stock & modified Clods, as well as stock USA-1s, the general consensus is to begin with anything from 30-40wt shock oil and medium sized pistons. This should provide a neutral setting with which to start experimenting to fine-tune your truck to your own preference.
