What are shock absorbers used for on a car?

First of all, it is important to understand the role of the car suspension. Shock absorbers are actually part of this system, as are springs. It is the combined action of these two elements that gives the car good road holding.

When you drive, your tyres are in direct contact with the road, which can have many irregularities: bumps, cracks, potholes, etc. And if you take part in rallies, this risk is even higher, as the road is generally more damaged. Without suspension, your wheels would have less grip on the ground, resulting in a loss of control.

Fortunately, the purpose of the springs is precisely to maintain contact with the road, by extending or compressing. And then the shock absorbers intervene, usually with a piston system, to make the oscillations caused by this action as smooth as possible. So it's a question of both comfort and safety.

When and why change your front shock absorbers?

Indeed, it is easy to see that a faulty suspension can have serious consequences. Firstly, by making driving less comfortable, such a malfunction significantly increases fatigue at the wheel. But above all, it reduces the grip on the ground, which lengthens braking distances and can cause the car to go off the road when cornering, especially when cornering at high speed.

Therefore, it is recommended to have your shock absorbers checked every two years or 20,000 km. And it is advisable to replace them every 80,000 km or so. However, if you're a racing driver, you'll probably want to monitor their performance more often and more carefully.

The different types of shock absorbers

There are various categories of shock absorbers, each corresponding to a specific use. In our catalogue, you will quickly spot them: they are expressed using the letter "B" and a number.

Without going into detail, it should be noted that the B4s are well suited to historic vehicles. Secondly, the B6 and B8 are more suitable for sporty use, delivering higher performance and a longer service life. Finally, the B14 and B16 refer to so-called "threaded combinations". These parts have a special feature that is often appreciated by racing and tuning enthusiasts: they are largely adjustable. Several properties, such as the hardness of the springs or the ride height, can be adjusted.
