Surely these are dampers - not "shock absorbers". Shock absorption is done by the tyre material, air in the tyre, flex in the wheels, the leaf springs and of course, on an Austin seven, by the chassis flexing. In a sense, I suppose the dampers do some "shock absorbing" by the rise in temperature of the friction disc - but surely their main function is to dampen oscillations of the springs?
