To provide a lubricant composition for shock absorbers, a friction adjusting additive for a lubricant for shock absorbers, and a lubricant additive, each capable of satisfying both operational stability and ride comfort and improving the ride comfort further. The lubricant composition for shock absorbers contains a base oil and a friction adjusting agent and the friction adjusting agent contains a first zinc dithiophosphate represented by the following formula 1: ##STR00001##
[in the formula 1, R.sup.11 to R.sup.14 are alkyl groups in which one or more and three or less is/are a primary alkyl group and the other(s) is/are a secondary alkyl group].

A mixture including a thiophosphoric acid product suitable for preparing organometallic and/or ashless antiwear additives having improved copper corrosion performance. The thiophosphoric acid product is distilled and recovered as a condensate of the distillation and having a low level of active sulfur.
