Improved handling When turning a corner or a sharp curve, a vehicle’s body tends to lean away from the direction of the turn and then rebounds. This motion is called roll. Excessive roll may cause
GAS CHARGED SHOCKS, STRUTS, & REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES The development of gas charged shock absorbers was a major advance in ride control technology.
