What shock absorbers do

Springs and suspension

Springs (not shock absorbers) actually support the full weight of the vehicle. They are the link between your car and the road.

Slack or sagging springs will affect vehicle height, front wheel geometry, wheel oscillation, symmetry and load bearing characteristics.
