5 BPW Shock absorber
General
BPW Shock absorber
The shock absorber reduces vibration in the vehicle body
O and ensures greater driving comfort and road safety. This
is because the wheels stay in contact with the road and
dynamic wheel load fl uctuations are reduced.
SL BPW uses various types of shock absorber to guarantee
the best possible damping in each case. In turn, this
ground contact is responsible for the tracking stability
and braking properties of the vehicle.
AL
High-volume BPW shock absorbers are adapted to the
AC vehicle, the overall height and the range of applications.
Using the split air bag (Combi-Air bag + Airlight Direct ) with
air suspensions, the shock absorber is fi tted with an end
stop in order to avoid any further axle travel.
The rubber bushes of BPW shock absorbers can be
replaced (see page 85).
Shock absorbers should only be built in and changed per
axle. Individual axles can be equipped in diff erent ways
within a multi-axle vehicle.
