Shock absorbers essentially do two things. Shock absorbers not only control the movement of springs and suspension but also keep your tires in contact with the ground at all times. At rest or in motion, the bottom of your tires is the only part of your vehicle that comes into contact with the road. Any time that a tyre's contact with the ground is broken or reduced, your ability to drive, steer and brake is severely compromised.
