The Technology Behind Shocks - Shock Value
|
GM's version of lever-action shocks (for use up front anyway) were for the most part double arm designs. Again, these operate on the same principle (fluid passing through a passageway between two chambers) to provide damping. The obvious difference is the double arm setup--the arms in these types of shocks actually act as the upper control arm and are connected directly to the top of the spindles. Though not a design I've ever seen used on a hot rod, they are common on GM restorations and many lowriders. View Related Article
