These shock absorbers can apparently fail when the external reservoir separates from the main shock body, which would cause ...

A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is attached to a vibration body. The stiffness and mass of the absorber are designed in order to produce an "anti-resonance ...

It resists the body movements and functions to attenuate the compression and decompression of the springs. Typical signs of worn shock absorbers include excessive bouncing after driving over speed ...
