almost..... actually shocks are designed to keep your wheels on the ground at all times, not to "absorb shock" as they are labeled. they provide firmness in the suspension to keep your tires in good contact with the road. if they're blown the car will be bouncy because there's nothing to dampen the up/down effect.
