Shocks & Struts

The main purpose of a shock absorber is to control the spring and suspension movement of your vehicle as it travels down the road.

A shock absorber works much like a bicycle pump. A piston is attached to the end of a rod which moves against hydraulic fluid in the tube. This fluid is pressurized and provides resistance to the piston's movement, generating heat, which is then harmlessly
dissipated.

A shock's piston counters most of this resistance by pushing the oil in the shock through tiny openings or "valves" inside, thereby slowing the movement of the piston.

These valves direct the oil's movement into varying pathways or "stages", depending on how much force is generated by the road. The greater the number of stages, the smoother the up and down movement of the piston. This movement is known as "rebound" and
"compression" and NAPA's 10-Stage Valving cushions piston movement in both directions.

All NAPA Shocks & Struts feature ten stages of valving via a series of intricate controls and cutting-edge design engineered to give you the smoothest, most controlled ride available. This type of technology is usually only a feature of competitors' "premium" brands. We build it into every shock we make
