This paper presents a effectiveness of shock absorber condition on vehicle handling performance including ESC(Electric Stability Control) system. ESC is very robustness system and assure the performance without wavering in small change. However it is depend on how well tuned ESC system. To analysis effectiveness of shock absorber, made two different condition of shock absorber assuming that it was worn. One thing is normal condition shock absorber and second is removed nitrogen gas in gas chamber. Shock absorbers were measured damping force for piston distance and velocity by damping machine and compared for damping force characteristic. Than these are applied to two vehicle that are old and present generation vehicle and compared performance on ESC regulation test. Finally, this paper is showed the important to consider about various vehicle and component condition when ESC development.
