Leaking shock on Honda accord 2007?
If the shock is leaking it must be replaced. Replace both shocks in pairs.
Does your gmc 95 sonoma need shocks struts or both for heavy loads?
That truck has shocks on the front and rear. Standard shock absorbers do not carry weight.
What do you do when you hit a bump and the car sounds like it hit a ditch?
REPLACE THE SHOCK ABSORBERS OR STRUTS OR BOTH.....DUUUUUHHHHH CARS ARNT MADE TO RIDE JUST ON SPRINGS ALONE SO YOU HAVE STRUTS IN THE FRONT AND SHOCK ABSORBERS IN THE BACK. IF THE FRONTS OR BACK OR BOTH ARE SHOT GUESS WHAT??? SOUNDS LIKE YOU HIT A DITCH WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP........... Also check the right side motor mount. Sometimes the rubber will tear and the mount bottoms out.
How do you put on shock absorbers on 1993 Chevy S10?
If it is a 4x4, for both the front and rear you can simply unbolt them and put new ones in, they are not under load because the springs support the weight of the vehicle.
How do you fix rear shock absorbers on a Renault megane coupe?
There are two bolts, one on the top, one on the bottom. Undo, remove, refit. They are not a serviceable item, if there is an issue with a damper you need to replace both sides to match or your cars handling will be very hairy. Should cost around £100 for parts.
Should you replace both shock in Mercedes s550 if is damage?

How are shock absorbers on a car similar to the circular moorings used in modern earthquake safe buildings How do they absorb shock?
I had this question on my homework in 2011 march, i think they're similar because they are probably both rubber, and they most likely prevent stuff to shake or get damged. im not sure how they absorb though so i was looking it up.
What is difference between emissivity and reflectance?
Reflectors just reflect the light absorbers actually absorb it.
Can Shock absorbing lanyards be reused after a fall?
No. In the process of saving YOUR life, the shock absorber portion of the lanyard is destroyed. Some work by a controlled ripping apart of a fabric strap, some by controlled breaking of stitches, but both are good for ONE arrest of a fall. The body harness should ALSO be replaced. A retractable lifeline should be returned to the maker for inspection and repair as needed.
How do shock absorbers absorb shock?
Cars absorb shock by use of their suspension system. This is made up of both the springs and shock absorbers / dampers. The suspension system allows the wheels to move up and down separately to the car body / chassis when a car goes over a bump or pothole. When this happens the springs compress or stretch and so help resist the displacement and because of the way a spring works, the greater the displacement the more the spring resists it. However to stop the spring "springing" back into it's original place too quickly and to prevent it vibrating and shaking the car repeatedly (which would be very uncomfortable and also make safe control of the vehicle much more difficult) they are also fitted with shock absorbers or dampers. These are cylinders filled with a viscous fluid with a piston inside them. The piston is porous and permeable and so can pass through the fluid but the fluid resists the motion. As the velocity of the motion increases so to does the amount of resistance. This stops the spring being forced to move too quickly when hitting a bump, it also stops it rebounding to quickly afterwards and stops the spring from oscillating backwards and forwards. Essentially it dampens the movement - hence the use of the name damper.
