Shock absorbers are an important part of a vehicle's suspension. Toyrolla stocks many used car shock absorbers.

In a car, a shock absorber reduces the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality. Without shock absorbers, the car would have a bouncy ride. Control of excessive suspension movement without shock absorption requires stiffer springs, which would in turn give a harsh ride.

Shock absorbers allow the use of soft springs while controlling the rate of suspension movement in response to bumps. They also, along with hysteresis in the tire itself, damp the motion of the unsprung weight up and down on the springiness of the tire. Since the tire is not as soft as the springs, effective wheel bounce damping may require stiffer shocks than would be ideal for the car motion alone. Spring-based shock absorbers commonly use coil springs or leaf springs, though torsion bars can be used in torsional shocks as well. Ideal springs alone, however, are not shock absorbers as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. Cars typically employ both springs or torsion bars as well as hydraulic shock absorbers. In this combination, "shock absorber" is reserved specifically for the hydraulic piston that absorbs and dissipates vibration.
