Acura TL Shocks & Struts

The purpose of shock absorbers is to transform kinetic energy into heat. It’s exactly what you need when your off-road vehicle lands after a three-second-long hovering. But it’s also necessary for your Acura TL meeting road irregularities at speed. Shocks are also called dampers. That’s because they dampen oscillations of springs while preventing bouncing – uncontrollable vertical motion of the body. The word “uncontrollable” is a key to understanding why it’s important. Driving a vehicle without fully functional shocks is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous.

Shock absorbers use liquid or/and substantially compressed gas and a sort of a mesh moving up and down. As the fluid rushes through the mesh, the resultant friction provides the conversion. The problem is that the pressure acting on the cylinder from inside is enormous. Sealing wears out in time eventually resulting in the leak. Leaking damper is mostly pointless – it neither dampens the springs nor absorbs shocks. That’s why you should replace faulty dampers as soon as you can. Use our high-quality Acura TL shocks & struts to ensure long, trouble-free service life of your suspension.
