Shock: types, how to choose.
Over the entire life of the machine change the shock absorbers on the average two or three times. The reason can serve as a replacement or malfunction, or the desire to improve the car's behavior on the road. Selecting parts market is very large, so the first thing you need to decide with what to buy shock.
Select shock absorbers needed, depending on the design and purpose of the vehicle, also need to consider the quality of the road on which the vehicle is operated, the hardness of the tire and the personal preferences of car owners, as the fluctuations in people react differently. If a vehicle is not subject to specific requirements, it is best to take those shocks, which recommends that the manufacturer of the vehicle. Since they are optimally combined with the specified technical characteristics of the car and versatile in terms of ride, handling and stability of the machine.
On the choice of the buyer Now there are three types of shock absorbers:
• Oil;
• Gas;
• gas and oil.
There is also no clear opinion, which one is better and which is worse, it all depends on the preferences of the car and the car owner.
▫ Oil shock
They are the most soft and comfortable, but their purchase is necessary to consider the quality of the road. For active and aggressive driving, they do not fit, it is preferable to use them on the road, where they provide full comfort. These dampers cheapest, but not because they are of poor quality, but because of production technology. These shock absorbers are best suited for family cars, it is not recommended to drive a car that is running such shocks on bad roads - there is a risk of boiling oil.
▫ Gas shock absorbers
Traditionally, it is the most expensive and the most severe shocks. Their main area of application - sports cars. They provide excellent grip, but with them the driver feels every bump, everyday riding with such shocks uncomfortable. This is due to the increase of the shock load on the ball and hub.
▫ Gas-oil shock
These shock absorbers are in the middle price segment and are most suitable for the urban cycle. Nitrogen gas eliminates the possibility of boiling the oil and grip better than when installing the oil damper. Service life at the gas-oil shock is very high.
In the Russian market the products of both domestic producers and foreign firms. Most foreign firms offers the buyer as gas and oil-filled models. Shock absorbers, gas-filled, represented by a series' original or standard "and" Sport ".
▫ Domestic manufacturers
"Plasma" (St. Petersburg);

The products are low cost and very high quality, mostly oriented manufacturers in the domestic traffic, that is, the Russian cars.
▫ Foreign manufacturers
1. Cheap shock absorbers are firm «QH» and «AL-KO», suitable for those who use the car every day, and occasionally, no more than 5-7 thousand kilometers. In this mode dampers serve 3-5 years.

«Monroe» (USA);
«Kayaba» (Japan);
«Sachs» (Germany);
«Boge» (Germany).
They are suitable for daily trips are reliable and reasonable price.
3. Shock the high price segment.
Koni (the Netherlands);
Bilstein (Germany).
