Have you ever wondered how pulsations in your car are controlled and eliminated? This is actually the job of the shock absorber. The job of the shock in your Honda Civic is to convert the kinetic energy of the spring movements into heat. The practical application of the shock is essential to maintain maximum tire contact to the road. The shock controls the speed that is transferred to your car and the rate as to how quickly the wheel settles back on the road after hitting a hole. A good set of Honda Civic shock in your car will ensure you of a safe and comfortable drive for thousands of miles.

But contrary to what other believe, shocks don’t hold up the weight of your car. It also does not control weight transfer and affect chassis balance. What the shock does is to regulate the movement of the suspension and the chassis and controls the amount of time it takes for your car to corner. Hydraulic pressure is what the shocks use in dampening the oscillation of the spring. Oil is shoved to the valves to be able to resist the movement of the spring. What determines the dampening ability of the shock is the amount and velocity of oil that passes through the piston. Reliability, performance and durability are the determining factors in shock production. There are shocks produced to offer comfort and others are more performance oriented.

If your Honda ride bounces two or three times after you hit a bump on the road, it is an indication that you need to replace it. Remember that shocks and springs work closely together so they must be well matched. If you are to replace the shocks, you will probably need to change the springs, too. As soon as you notice signs of shock wear out such as unusual noise when driving, unusual tire wear and loss of vehicle control, it is time for you to secure replacement right away. With the wide choices of shock designs available in the market today, getting the right fitting shock for your Honda is essential.
