The most simple shock absorber design has it sit between the arm that holds the wheel and area under the seat on the frame. As the rear tire hits a bump, the shock absorber is "sandwiched" between the two. The shock absorber itself isn't too different from any other shock absorber.
Your front tire may be rubbing on the shock absorber of your 1995 Chrysler LHS due to several reasons, such as incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension components, or the wrong tire size. It could also be caused by damaged or sagging suspension, which affects the vehicle's ride height. Inspect the suspension for any signs of wear and ensure that the tires are properly sized and inflated. If the issue persists, it's advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.

A shock absorber for a wheel limits the rapid movement of the wheel when it hits something , like a pot hole. Without it, the tire would bounce like a rubber ball. A good shock absorber prevents this. It is quite easy to notice a car with bad shocks absorbers. When it goes over a bump in the road, the back end will continue to bounce many times. This can be dangerous if the car is going fast as it is quite possible that the driver could lose control.
Check for a broken shock.
