Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation
Shock Absorber
REAR LOAD LEVELING
A load-leveling shock is available. The self leveling shock absorbers are a self-contained vehicle leveling system and shock absorber combined. It
does not require an external compressor, hoses, height leveling sensors, etc. It uses road inputs (bumps, stops, starts, turns, acceleration, deceleration,
etc.) to activate pumping, which is just the extension and compression of the shock absorber. On the outside, it looks like a larger than normal shock
absorber. Internally, it consists of a hydraulic pump and gas-spring cushion for leveling, as well as the normal shock absorbing mechanism. All the
height leveling sensors, pump, etc., are contained inside the shocks. These load-leveling shock absorbers mount the same, but use longer fasteners than
the standard shock absorbers. Although the fasteners are longer, the torque specifications are the same.
