Monroe shock absorbers play an essential role in your car's suspension system

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 6, 2010 -- Monroe shock absorbers play an essential role in your car’s suspension system. You may want to replace the Monroe shock absorbers when evident signs of wear become apparent, otherwise your safety and comfort within your car could become compromised. Monroe shock absorbers work by easing the compression and extension of the car’s Monroe suspension springs and hence avoiding continuing bouncing.

Monroe shocks work to absorb road impact, keep excessive rebound, limit sway and improve overall road handling. When your Monroe shocks are working properly, your car holds on to the road if you are braking, negotiating a bend while in the road, driving on bumpy roads or experiencing strong side winds. If worn out, your Monroe shocks can mean you lose control of your vehicle and put you, your passengers and riders in other cars at risk.

Strut assemblies wear out gradually. Longevity is determined by a number of factors. Local driving on smooth road surfaces will prolong everyday living of shocks and struts, on a trip consistently on winding, gravel or dirt roads will initiate quicker replacement. The Monroe Air Ride Conversion Kit was designed to replace the air suspension used in 1988 to 1994 Lincoln Continentals. Monroe engineers developed a coil spring replacement for the air spring used in the original Original manufacturer’s suspension system.

Combined with brackets built for the Lincoln Continental and application- specific valving, the retrofit kit is a direct replacement option. This retrofit is made to replace all four air struts and is fully engineered to be an assembled conversion of the suspension structure. Since it’s a mechanized system, the Monroe retrofit package will not obstruct the vehicle’s electrical system.

A shock absorber is a device used to smooth jolts or shocks and to disperse kinetic energy. Shock absorbers are crucial in motorcycle and automobile suspension, in landing gear for aircraft and as part of the support systems for industrial machines. A large version of the shock absorber is used in structural engineering to add stability and lessen damage from earthquakes and other disasters. The shock absorber is usually a cylinder which has a sliding piston that’s cushioned by hydraulic fluid or air.

The Lincoln Town Car’s air suspension uses a small, separate air compressor under the driver’s side left fenderwell, with air lines running to the air bags. On the top of each air bag is a electrical valve. This is a relief valve that allows air to be exhausted when activated, and which senses how many air pressure from the air bag to keep both sides equal.
