Shock Absorbers

Not only are shock absorbers vital for effective steering and safe braking, but they smooth out the bumps and afford you a comfortable drive. Shock absorbers are pretty important and if they’re not working correctly can substantially increase your car’s stopping distance which is clearly very dangerous.

So what are the warning signs of defective shock absorbers? There are a few to look out for:

• Your car isn’t hugging the road on bends
• Your car tyres have bald patches
• Your car dips forward when you brake
• Your car is very unstable in wind
• Your steering wheel vibrates while driving

If you’re experiencing any of the above issues or if just want your shock absorbers checked to be on the safe side, get in touch with the team at Bankside Garage who are happy to answer your questions and advise on any work that needs doing.
