Twin-Tube Vs. Mono-Tube Shock Absorbers

Twin-Tube Vs. Mono-Tube Shock Absorbers

Regardless of the purpose of using your car, we want you to get the most comfort and safety from it. Shock absorbers play an important role in this. There have been many different designs for shock absorbers over the course of automotive history. But in this article, we will compare mono-tube and twin-tube shock absorbers.

Manufacturers agree that mono-tube is better, but is that really true? Of course, they have many advantages:

  1. The larger oil capacity allows generate stable damping force and improves heat dissipation.
  2. There are no restrictions on installation angles.
  3. There is no aeration due to design of shock absorber

Mono tube

The mono-tubes are more durable and also require minimal maintenance, but they are more expensive than twin-tubes. In addition, the mono-tube shocks ride tends to be stiffer, because of an injection of high-pressure gas. And also maintaining sufficient stroke is difficult due to the location of the gas and oil chamber. So the mono-tube’s merits are suited for hard-driving on circuits.

The big problem with mono-tubes is that if the casing consisting of one cylinder is damaged, the shock absorber can no longer …
