A bumper shock absorber is a device that absorbs minor collisions with the bumper of your vehicle. A bumper shock absorber is usually attached to the bumper and the frame to dampen the impact from low speed accidents. Like all shock absorbers, a bumper shock absorber will eventually wear out if it no longer seals and loses its gas or fluid charge. Though this doesn't affect the ride of your vehicle, it may make you less safe in the event of an accident, and should be replaced if you notice your bumper sagging or fluid leaking around the part.
