eiverTip 24: Keep your shock absorbers healthy

Healthy shock absorbers is key. Once you feel they may be a little tired, do not wait. They take part in the car maintenance. 

THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOCK ABSORBERS

If you’re over 30 000 miles (50 000 km), it is time to look at your shocks. With shock absorbers – and suspension – at end of life, adherence becomes very uncertain. This is causing these dangerous rebounds making the vehicle dangerous, at high or low-speed.

In addition, if your suspensions are worn, they wear your tires unevenly. You reject most of the gum particles in the air and deteriorate your tires faster.

In terms of security, rebounds reduce adhesion, so the contact to the road. Results are a more important braking distance and increased risk of loss of control in curves.
