Abstract : This project evaluates the performance of shock absorbers using composite materialslike Carbon Fiber and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), applied as a coating to a primary spring steel structure. The study compares an original spring steel design with a modified version featuring an increased coil diameter and composite coating to enhance ride quality and comfort by reducing disturbance amplitudes. Designed in CATIA and simulated in ANSYS Workbench 2024, the analysis includes structural evaluation of equivalent and principal stresses under varying loads, vibrational analysis of frequency and acceleration changes, and modal analysis of mode shapes and natural frequencies. The objective is to propose a modified shock absorber design that ensures the maximum principal stress remains within the yield stress limit, making it a safer and more efficient solution
