Are shock absorbers part of the suspesion?

Why do bumpers have spring load shock abosorbers?
Bumbers have shock absorbers on them to absorb the shock of a minor impact (5mph) without causing significant damage to the car or the object hit. So, if you backed into a concrete wall while parking, the bumper would move with the shock absorbers - you might get a scuff on the paint; but if there was no shock absorber, the bumper or the mounting brackets would get bent (or the wall would break).

What do shock absorbers do?
mabye they "absorb shock!" 2nd Answer: In actual fact, shock absorbers do not absorb shock: the springs do that. The "shock absorbers" dampen rebound (Bouncing). In a bike, the spring is built right around the dampener part.
How does impact absorbers work?
Shock absorbers work to minimize the impact of daily wear and collisions on cars, shoes, and other items
What features are present on the Bilstein 5100 shock absorbers?
The Bilstein 5100 Shock Absorbers have many advanced features for superior performance. The shock absorbers have high-flow, larger working piston area to reduce harshness and for precision damping. Other features can be found in the Bilstein catalog and/or website.
Are the arches of the foot mianly shock absorbers?
no, shock absorbers are in your knees and back. Some people have flat feet.
