Can you drive with a missing front shock?
Never drive a car with a broken shock absorber at highway speeds and avoid sudden turns or stops; in the long run, a broken shock will need to be replaced.
Can you drive with a loose shock?
Can I drive with a damaged shock absorber? Yes. Although it won’t be a comfortable journey. A broken shock absorber will result in your car bouncing around, as well as excessive rolling, squatting and diving.
What happens if you drive without a shock?
So with no shocks, you will get more body roll, you hit a bump and youll be bob up and down for a while it will just be annoying as far as I know, nothing BAD about it, it will most likely be a bit harder on your bushings but not too bad.
What happens when you put a baseline shock on a car?
The shock will be easy to compress, causing the car to droop at the back. With the baseline set for all four shocks, you can fine-tune and track test shock settings using the suggestions in the story text. Adjustable shock absorbers are becoming popular in drag racing.
Where are the compression settings on a shock?
The compression adjustment on the strut is on the base. The strut has 13 settings (12 clicks). When viewed from the bottom, turn the adjuster clockwise to firm up the strut, counterclockwise to soften compression.
How are oblique shocks formed in a Mach reflection case?
This means that a normal shock is formed at the wall that away from the wall bends of to match the angle of the oblique shock. To be able to analyze the flow in a Mach reflection case we will need to use CFD. In front of a blunt body, generation of oblique shocks is not possible and instead we will get a detached bow shock.
Can a bow shock be generated in front of a blunt body?
In front of a blunt body, generation of oblique shocks is not possible and instead we will get a detached bow shock. In front of the object, the detached shock is normal generating a region of subsonic flow in front of the object.
What’s the softest setting for a strange shock?
When setting up front single adjustable shocks, Jeff recommends that you start by turning the knob counterclockwise all the way, resulting in the softest setting or position number 1. At the baseline soft position or full counterclockwise setting, Strange shocks react in a way that’s roughly similar to the tried and tested 90/10 drag shock.
Which is the correct position for Strange shocks?
With single adjustable models, six clicks clockwise and the resistance force will stiffen turning them all the way to the right for full force resistance, although too much chassis separation will slow down your ETs. Turning single adjustable Strange shocks to position number two or three will allow front end travel or weight transfer.
Where are the shock absorbers and struts located?
Strut suspension usually has the shock absorber and the spring in one unit, with the top of the strut mounted very high in the car body and the bottom of the strut attached to the lower control arm. This lowers the vehicle center of gravity, which is a good thing.
What’s the compression setting on a strange shock?
With Strange’s double adjustable shock, compression is adjusted by turning the compression knob from 1 to 12, one being the softest setting, and 12 being the stiffest.
