Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my shock absorbers are worn?
Common signs: the car bounces after a bump, leans more in corners, braking feels less stable or there are traces of oil on the shock absorber. To confirm it, it needs checking at the garage.
Should shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?
The usual practice is to replace them per axle, both front or both rear, so the car behaves the same on both sides.
Is it dangerous to drive with worn suspension?
Worn shock absorbers increase braking distances and reduce grip, especially in corners and in the rain. It's worth getting them checked soon.
After replacing suspension parts, does the alignment need checking?
Sometimes, yes, because replacing suspension parts can change the wheel geometry. We'll let you know depending on the work done.
