Shock absorbers are used to reduce the annoying effect of travelling on rough terrain, and can improve the ride quality, increase comfort, and enhance the vehicle’s stability and driveability.

Shock absorbers tend to wear and discharge over time and should therefore be monitored. They have a primary function on the safety of the vehicle: in addition to ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride, they are essential to allow the vehicle to have good road holding.

How to tell if shock absorbers need replacing?

Signals that indicate the need to check the status of your shock absorbers include a vibrating steering wheel, reduced braking efficiency, decreased control while cornering, a higher risk of slipping on wet roads even at low speeds, and abnormal tire wear.
