What is the difference between inverted shock absorption and upright shock absorption?

The biggest difference between the two shock absorbers is that one is facing forward and the other is opposite in appearance. It works exactly the same. The difference is that with upright shock absorbers, the springs are easily damaged when the car falls, while inverted ones will not be hurt because the springs or oil are pressed on them. Therefore, expensive shock absorbers are often inverted. The cylinder for upright shock absorbers is below the shock absorber, and the cylinder for inverted shock absorbers is above the shock absorber. The details are as follows:

1. Upright front shock absorption:

The structure is relatively simple, the shock absorption stroke is relatively long, it is easy to maintain and disassemble, and the cost is low.

2. Inverted front shock absorption:

Strong rigidity, relatively short shock absorption stroke, and light unsprung weight are beneficial to vehicle control. In the 1990s, another style of front shock absorber began to appear in large numbers on mass-produced vehicles, claiming to have It has better rigidity and more sensitive suspension response, but its appearance is very similar to the original upright front shock absorber. However, the new front shock absorber is placed upside down, also called an inverted front shock absorber. In the last century In the late 1990s, inverted front shock absorbers gradually became the main equipment of high-performance models on the market. Today, whether they are racing cars, super sports cars, street cars, or even high-end off-road vehicles, most of them adopt inverted front shock absorbers. shocks as the front suspension system.
