Lower spring isolator
The shock absorber/upper control arm mounting bracket also provides a pivotal mounting point for the upper control arm.
OPERATION - SHOCK ASSEMBLY
The shock absorber assembly cushions the ride of the vehicle, controlling vibration, and jounce and rebound of the suspension.
The coil spring controls ride quality and maintains proper ride height.
The spring isolators isolate the coil spring at the top and bottom from coming into metal-to-metal contact with the upper mounting bracket and shock
absorber.
The jounce bumper limits suspension travel and metal-to-metal contact under full jounce condition.
The shock absorber dampens jounce and rebound motions of the coil spring and suspension.
