Shock absorber is one of important component in a vehicle suspension system. The shock control springmotion by damping energy from the spring. This paper was focused on the dynamic characteristics of an automotiveshock absorber. The design of interchangeable shock absorber test rig was developed and fabricated for the dynamicsmeasurement system. This test setup integrated with the computer systems to record the signal. An experiment wasconducted to identify the stiffness and damping parameter for 850 cc and 1600 cc shock absorber. Simulation study wasperformed utilizing the COSMOS Motion software. It can be seen from the results that there is a good agreementbetween the experimental and simulated results in terms of stiffness and damping value except few discrepancy. Theacquired results show that the range of discrepancy within 10%. The good range of stiffness of the passenger vehicleshock absorber is 20 N/mm to 60 N/mm while the damping of passenger vehicle shock absorber is 1 Ns/mm to 6 Ns/mm.
