The shock absorber and the spring need to be distinguished. Because as far as the shock absorber is concerned, the effect of it and the spring can be said to be opposite to each other.
When the vehicle is running, the damping spring is mainly used to absorb bumps and vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces. However, as an elastic element, the spring absorbs and filters road bumps and vibrations while also generating reciprocating bouncing motion. The main function of the shock absorber is to suppress the repeated bounce of the shock absorber spring after absorbing various impacts brought by the road surface, so as to accelerate the attenuation of the natural vibration of the spring and provide better driving smoothness for the vehicle.
