SACHS shock absorbers are of the highest quality, which is why many reputable car manufacturers install them as standard in new vehicles. Regardless of road difficulties, they offer high performance, excellent dynamic characteristics, ensure perfect grip on the road and very good response in corners. A shock absorber, together 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 of the suspension spring, slows it down, and thus limits the body movements.

The 170 426 shock absorber is a twin-tube shock absorber with two chambers filled with oil: the working chamber, in which the piston and piston rod move, and the compensation chamber.

The compensation chamber 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.
