Shock absorbers’ know-hows

Ever wondered how much shock absorbers truly help your car? It plays a crucial role in maintaining your car stability, handling, and overall ride comfort. Shock absorbers have these functions:

  1. Damping spring oscillation caused by road shock
  2. Helping to keep the car body level
  3. Improves body durability and handling stability.

What symptoms to look out for when your car does the hard work for you? ​

A. Reduced Dampening Effect

  • It dampens the impact of bumps and uneven road surfaces. As the shock absorber wears out, the ability to absorb and control these impacts diminishes, leading to a rougher and bumpier ride. You will feel more vibrations and jolts in the car.

B. Excessive Bouncing

  • Bouncing tyres over bumps or dips can lead to longer braking distances and discomfort for passengers, especially at high speeds.

C. Poor Handling and Stability

  • When shocks deteriorate, the car’s stability and handling become compromised. You may notice more body roll when turning, reduced stability during braking, or a generally less predictable driving experience.

D. Uneven Tyre Wear

  • Uneven tyre wear can be caused by damaged or worn shocks. If your car is bouncing excessively or the wheels are not making proper contact with the road due to poor shock absorption, it can result in irregular tire wear patterns.

E. Fluid Leakage

  • Inspect your shock absorbers for any signs of fluid leakage. Leaking fluid is a sure sign that the shocks need replacement.

F. Increased Stopping Distance

  • Worn shocks can impact a car’s braking performance. If the shocks are unable to keep the tires in contact with the road consistently, it can lead to longer stopping distances and compromised braking efficiency.

If you encounter these symptoms, please don’t ignore them for your safety. Autobacs provides 33-point basic check that includes checking of shock absorbers.

Our staff is pleased to help you understand more about the shock absorber’s installation time, charges, and suitability for your car.
