Støddæmperne

Støddæmperne, also known as shock absorbers, are automotive components designed to absorb and dissipate the energy generated by road impacts, ensuring a smooth ride and maintaining tire contact with the road surface. They are typically mounted at each wheel of a vehicle and consist of a piston, a spring, and a damping valve. The piston moves within a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid, which is compressed and decompressed as the vehicle encounters bumps and potholes. The damping valve controls the flow of fluid, allowing for a gradual return to the vehicle's equilibrium position after each impact. Støddæmperne are crucial for vehicle stability, handling, and passenger comfort. They are available in various types, including gas-charged, adjustable, and self-leveling shock absorbers, each offering different levels of performance and ride quality. Regular maintenance, including fluid checks and replacements, is essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of støddæmperne.
