I saw this technical article about shock absorbers that serves as a good primer if you are interested in learning more about this topic. I thought there would be technically inclined members here that would be interested in reading this. I wasn't sure if this was the best sub-forum to put this article in but I'll leave that up to the moderators to decide where to best put this general technical article.
