Your vehicle's suspension system does a lot more than just ensure a smooth ride—maintaining it is absolutely vital for your safety and the safety of other road users.
A worn or faulty suspension can increase your car's stopping distance by up to 20 percent. If your shock absorbers, coil springs, or linkages are failing, your vehicle will struggle to maintain proper contact with the road, making maintenance and timely repairs critical.
If you suspect something is wrong with your suspension, just give our team a call. We can book your vehicle in for a thorough safety inspection at our Hemel Hempstead or Aylesbury branch.
Keep an eye out for these common warning signs that your shocks, struts, or springs are wearing out:
One of the main signs that your shock absorbers need replacing is if your journeys no longer feel smooth. If you start to feel minor road bumps, shakes, and vibrations that you never used to notice, your shocks are likely failing.
If your car feels unstable, leans heavily, or starts to pull when you are turning corners, your shock absorbers are no longer keeping the vehicle stable. This is highly dangerous as it increases the risk of the vehicle rolling over.
If the front of your car "dives" forward dramatically toward the tarmac when you hit the brakes, your shocks are spent. As mentioned above, this poor weight distribution is what greatly increases your total stopping distance.
