Chevrolet Nova Shock Absorber
Chevrolet Nova vehicles goes by the names of Shock Absorber and is an important component of the vehicle's suspension mostly used for shock absorption and impulse damping. The Shock Absorber works through the process of converting kinetic energy into heat this helps in reducing bouncing or vibrating movements on the bumpy terrains. Through the years, Chevrolet Nova has employed different kinds of Shock Absorbers which could be classified under the twin-tube and mono-tube types. Twin-tube shocks are widespread because of their simplicity in the structure, however, gas charging can be introduced here for the improved material's wear. Mono-tube shocks are favored with their enhanced heat-sink feature and other advantages for multi-axial mountability. Other options such as Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) and Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) enhance the ability of Shock Absorbers when responding to several conditions which is the progression of Shock Absorber in Chevrolet Nova vehicles.
