It is designed to dampen spring oscillations, control suspension movement, and maintain tire contact with the road surface. The monotube gas pressure design provides consistent performance by preventing oil aeration, which can lead to "shock fade." This results in improved vehicle control, reduced body roll, and a more stable ride experience under various driving conditions.
