How to distinguish the front shock absorber and the rear shock absorber

The front shock absorber is usually installed on the front wheel of a motorcycle or car, responsible for absorbing the vibration generated

Installation location: The front shock absorber is usually installed on the front wheel of a motorcycle or car, responsible for absorbing the vibration generated by the front wheel during driving; the rear shock absorber is installed on the rear wheel of the vehicle to reduce the rear wheel Vibration.

Structural difference: The front shock absorber is the main structural part of the suspension.

Material difference: The front shock absorber usually uses lighter and more elastic materials to facilitate the adjustment of the balance of the vehicle; the rear shock absorber pays more attention to durability, so it uses stronger materials.

Marking distinction: The front shock absorber of the car is divided into left and right, and there are obvious "L" and "R" marks on the shock absorber accessories to distinguish between left and right; the rear shock absorber is not divided into left and right.

Appearance and internal structure: The ones with trays and various clamps are generally the front shock absorbers of automobiles, and the thin ones without trays are generally the rear shock absorbers of automobiles.
