As the spring mount at the top of the shock absorber assembly, the top mount absorbs more than a quarter of the vehicle’s weight in impact forces when driving on uneven roads, playing an indispensable role. Today, let’s take a closer look at it! The function of the top layer The shock absorber top mount is made of rubber and serves to cushion and dampen vibrations. When the spring is fully compres...
Why can’t you hear the sound of metal scraping against metal when a car is driving on a bumpy road? Why do we often say that a car feels ‘soft’ or ‘stiff’? How is this achieved through suspension tuning? That’s right—it’s all down to the car’s bushings! Durable Car Bushings serve to absorb shocks, reduce friction, extend the life of components and enhance comfort. Who would have thought such a sma...
As a key component of a car’s chassis, the shock absorber serves to dampen the vibrations caused by the spring rebounding after absorbing shocks and to absorb the energy from road impacts. However, as friction between the components leads to rapid wear and tear, this is where its trusty companion, the ‘top rubber’, comes into its own. The high-quality top mount, acting as the spring seat at the to...
Nowadays, many car models feature badges such as ‘1.8T’ or ‘2.0T’ on the rear; the ‘T’ here indicates that the vehicle is fitted with a turbocharged engine. Fig. 1 A turbocharger (Fig. 1) utilises the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine (located within the exhaust manifold); the turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller situated within the intake manifold. The impeller compresse...
