Abstract
A hydropneumatic shock absorber for use with a motor vehicle or the like has disposed therein a valve, which is movable in the normal course of operation relative to a fluid passage. A heat sensitive element sensitive to the temperature of a damping fluid, such as oil, of the shock absorber is connected to the valve whereby the valve is urged from flow-preventing engagement with the passage after a predetermined damping fluid temperature is reached. Thus the provided valve permits increased damping fluid movement through the passage with temperatures in excess of the predetermined temperature.
