    4 Rebound damping When the spring presses the shock absorber out again, the fluid flows back through the needle valve in the piston rod. The fluid flowing into the chamber is forced by the pr essure of the gas back into the shock absorber via a separate non return valve. If velocity of the piston is high, the shims on top of the piston will also op[...]
