The rear shock absorber comprises:
-

A coil-type road spring mounted between the lower wishbone and the upper spring seat on the vehicle body; different spring rates are used
according to model.

-

A telescopic, hydraulically controlled, damper, co-axial with the road spring, mounted between the lower wishbone and the upper spring seat on
the vehicle body.

Damping Principle

Damping is achieved by controlling the flow of fluid from one end of the damping chamber to the other. The more the flow of fluid is restricted, the
firmer the damping action.
