Why do you need to free up frozen shock absorbers?

Shock absorbers prevent your vehicle from bouncing on the flexing spring. The absorbers transfer energy created by the spring to a piston, which releases the heat. Position the jack by using the jacking points of the vehicle, allowing the jack to support the weight of the car.
How can I tell if my shock absorbers are expired?
Look for cupped wear on the tires when inspecting. Cupped patterns are the best sign of expired shock absorbers. Use the make, model and year of your vehicle to order the new shock absorbers to avoid a mismatch. Be careful to ensure that the mounting nuts are torqued to manufacturer specifications. Avoid overtightening the nuts and bolts.

Your hood release is stuck. The dipstick will have to wait. Actually, it may not be your hood.

While these may be electrically actuated, the mechanism that latches the tailgate is still mechanical.
