Your vehicle’s suspension system is effectively a complex series of components designed to work together to limit the vibrations and undulations from the road surface, providing a smooth, controlled and comfortable driving experience.

The principle suspension components include a coil spring and shock absorber or dampener as it is sometimes referred to. These components are fitted to each of the four corners of your vehicle and work together to dampen down and cushion the vehicle by absorbing the impact from potholes and other minor imperfections in the road. This keeps your vehicle stable and your tyres firmly in contact with the road surface for the maximum amount of time.

In order for your vehicles braking system to work most effectively the tyres need to be in contact with the road on all types of surfaces and conditions. In fact, at 30mph, worn shock absorbers can add up to 2 meters to your braking distance!

It is not always obvious that a problem in your vehicle suspension system is present. This is generally due to a gradual loss of performance in the principle suspension parts and because this happens over time a motorist may not always feel the gradual decrease in suspension performance.

Your Passengers and Kids may experience some travel sickness because of the amount of extra movement as a result of worn Shock Absorbers.
