Shock Absorbers

Shock absorbers are a critical component of your vehicle’s suspension system as they are purposefully designed to absorb the impact of road surfaces that are bumpy and uneven. Without shock absorbers, your vehicle would bounce and vibrate uncontrollably, causing it not only to be uncomfortable to drive, but unsafe as well.

The primary purpose of shock absorbers is to control the movement of your vehicle’s springs, which compress and expand in response to irregularities on the road, such as potholes. By slowing down the movement of the springs, shock absorbers help to reduce the amount of bouncing and vibration that your vehicle experiences. Therefore, they are vital for improving handling, reducing stopping distance, and increasing the overall comfort of the driver and their passengers.

Regular maintenance and replacement of your shock absorbers are crucial to ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly and safely. Over time, shock absorbers can become worn out or damaged, leading to a variety of issues such as reduced handling, increased stopping distance, and uneven tyre wear. 

If your shock absorbers are not functioning correctly, your vehicle’s performance and safety can be compromised. Worn-out shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to bounce excessively, leading to a loss of control and increased stopping distance. They can also cause your tyres to wear unevenly, which can affect your vehicle’s handling and fuel efficiency.
