A shock absorber, along with the coil spring, forms the final link between the suspension and the vehicle's body. It is an essential safety component that reduces the vibrations from the suspension spring, slows it down, and thus limits the movements of the body.
The 170 426 shock absorber is a twin-tube shock absorber with two chambers filled with oil: the working cavity, where the piston and piston rod move, and the compensation cavity. The compensation cavity is located between the working cylinder and the reservoir tube, and is filled 2/3 with oil and 1/3 with air or gas. As a result, the twin-tube shock absorber has a shorter installation length than the equivalent monotube model. 80 B3 Sedan (893 894 8A2).
