What is the function of a Car Shock Absorber?
A worn shock absorber can affect your vehicle drastically. This could become a life or death situation. When driving through bends the motor vehicle will sway continuously. The vehicle becomes very difficult to control.
Signs of Worn Shock Absorbers:
- Vehicle is unstable when cornering, due to an excessive swaying motion
- Nose diving or a rocking noise heard when braking
- The rear of the vehicle squats on pull-off
- Un-even tyre wear (flat spots)
- Shock absorbers leaking oil, either due to damage or normal wear and tear
There are really good brands of shocks that are available in South Africa
- Gabriel Shocks
- KYB Shocks
- Monroe Shocks
Can worn shocks or struts cause my new tires to wear unevenly?
Absolutely yes. Tyres wear out faster. This also affects your suspension on the car as well. Shocks are a very important part of a vehicle. You should always consider your safety while driving. Good shock absorbers result in the stability of the car on the road. Shock absorbers are a necessary part of car suspension. Most vehicles have one shock absorber for each of the four tires. They play a very important role in a vehicle’s suspension system.
Stabilize Vehicle Ride
Depending on road conditions or driving style, a vehicle can go from smooth and controlled to bumpy and erratic in a short time period. Shock absorbers stabilize the overall vehicle ride, preventing an excess of vehicle body lean or roll in any one direction, especially when cornering or navigating sharp turns. This stabilization allows for greater vehicle control and stability.
