A car shockbreaker is usually applied close to the wheels or tires of a car that has been equipped with a peer. The purpose is to restrain the peer movement so that it can move more smoothly. When the car is running and passing on an uneven road, the car body part will automatically drop to be supported by the peer.

Automatically, the peer will come down slowly and the shock breaker will press the spring through gas or oil, depending on the shockbreaker used in the vehicle. With this component, the descending movement of the car body will not be excessive.

When the peer returns to its original position or bounces upwards, the shockbreaker will hold the spring and release it slowly, so the movement is smoother. The performance is very significant and the work is very heavy. The more often the car carries heavy loads, the less shockbreaker durability will be.
