Monroe Shocks


Did you know that around 75 percent of a car's components are created by supplier companies? Most car manufactures, like Mercedes, want people to think that 100 percent of the car's parts are made within Daimler. That's why each car company has different names for their electronic suspension option.

Tenneco and Sachs are the leading suppliers of this option- Tenneco calls the system CES (Continiously Controled Electonic Suspension) and Sachs calls it CDC (Continious Damping Control) . The large car manufactures then purchase the technology and rename it as their own.


Mercedes ---> Advanced Agility or Driving Dynamic Package

Ford ---> IVDC (Interactive Vehicle Dynamic Control)

Volvo ----> Four-C (Continiously Controled Chassis Concept)

Volkswagen ----> DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control)

Audi ---> Adaptive Air Suspension with Continiously Controled Damping

Although the names are different, they all are the same.

Merceds, Ford, Volvo, Volkswagen, Audi ------------------> CES Supplied by Tenneco.

Funny, isn't it?
