The Ford Escort Shock Absorber refers to an aspect of the vehicles' suspension system widely accepted and used in the Ford Escort automobile models. Built to protect and diminish the impact or shock signals, this shock absorber greatly improves the vehicle's drive kinematics and comfort, making it one of the every necessary elements one can imagine being a driver. Located in the suspension struts of the Ford escort the hydraulic shock absorber is designed to take energy from the movement of the car and turn it to heat in order to restrain large movements of the car suspension when going over rugged surfaces. Different types of shock absorbers, twin-tube and mono-tube are in use and models of Escort have employed different types to obtain better results. Twin-tube shocks that are usually gas charged are good with regards to durability while, mono-tube shocks are great concerning heat dispersion and performance. Some of the special features include the Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) and the Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) which takes the Ford Escort Shock Absorber to heights in its response to driving conditions. Such suspensions as electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers are semi-active and adaptive in nature that provides a better deal in terms of comfort and control. This Ford Escort Shock absorber fits many Escort models built between the years 1981 and 2003 and it is an important component of the vehicle that encourages improvements in its efficiency and safety. Its reputation in the automotive market is well enhanced by displaying outstanding performance in this area hence any specially built Ford Escort must be made to achieve this particular aspect of performance. In summary, the Ford Escort Shock Absorber represents a great product and a perfect example of company's focus on providing only the optimal quality in engineering a vehicle that would provide a smooth and safe driving experience.
