The suspension component that converts the energy of an oscillation into heat is the _____.

  • A.bump stop, which limits the travel of the suspension at full compression but does not control the oscillation
  • B.damper
  • C.coil spring, which instead stores the energy and returns it, and would oscillate indefinitely without any control
  • D.anti-roll bar

Answer: B

The damper forces fluid through restrictions and the work done appears as heat, which is what stops the spring oscillating. The everyday name shock absorber describes the spring's job rather than the damper's. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
