: Ensures steering, road handling, and braking responses are optimal.
A shock absorber is a pump-like device that controls the rebound of suspension springs by converting kinetic energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the surrounding air. Shocker
Industry experts, such as those at Monroe , suggest replacing shocks every 60,000 to 80,000 miles. Common indicators of failure include: How To Check for a Bad Shock or Strut EASY : Ensures steering, road handling, and braking responses
: Dampens oscillations and vibrations that occur when hitting road bumps. : Ensures steering
: Prevents the vehicle from "bottoming out" (scraping) or experiencing excessive "nose dive" during braking. Signs of Wear and Failure
