Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation

The hydraulic front shock absorbers are of the direct, double-acting type. They provide a continuous dampening effect both on compression and rebound. These front shock absorbers are of telescopic design with rubber grommets at the mounting points for quiet operation. The front shock absorbers are sealed and non-adjustable, and must be replaced as complete assemblies.
