A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and convert kinetic energy to another form of energy. It is used in conjunction with cushions and springs. An automobile shock absorber contains spring-loaded check valves and orifices to control the flow of oil through an internal piston.One design consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will go. In most shock absorbers, energy is converted to heat inside the viscous fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid heats up, while in air cylinders, the hot air is usually exhausted to the atmosphere. In other types of shock absorbers, such as electromagnetic types, the dissipated energy can be stored and used later. Shock absorbers help cushion vehicles on uneven roads.Package Included:1 X Shock Absorber/StrutHardware as Shown in the Picture AboveCompatible with:01-12 Ford Escape01-06 Mazda Tribute08-11 Mazda Tribute05-11 Mercury MarinerNotes:OEM Part Numbers: 235913
