The 5 pages that link to Shock absorber, each with the reason it gives.

• DampingBroader topic: It converts vehicle suspension oscillations into heat to limit bouncing.

• Damped harmonic oscillatorBroader topic: It uses damping to suppress oscillations after a bump.

• Motorcycle suspensionRelated: It damps repeated suspension movement after compression and rebound.

• Car suspensionRelated: It controls the bouncing that suspension springs would otherwise sustain.

• DashpotRelated: Many shock absorbers use hydraulic damping closely related to dashpot action.
