Why A Defective Shock Absorber Can Be A Danger To You And Your Car

Driving with a shock absorber that is not in good condition can pose serious risks for the driver. From excessive vehicle movement to potential tire lift-off from the pavement, the signs of a defective shock absorber are noticeable and require attention. ALD Automotive | LeasePlan, a leading sustainable mobility company that offers rental, outsourcing, and fleet management services, explains why it is crucial to keep a close eye on your vehicle’s suspension system.

The Domino Effect Of A Damaged Shock Absorber

Shock absorbers in poor condition can wreak havoc not only on the suspension system itself but also on the wheel bearings and steering links. When this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to control, as it sways more than normal, potentially leading to unwanted accidents.

Uneven Tire Wear And Difficulty Braking

Shock absorbers play a crucial role in keeping the tires in contact with the road. Therefore, if they are damaged, the tires may experience uneven wear. Additionally, a shock absorber in poor condition can compromise the vehicle’s ability to absorb impacts at the rear axle and front suspension, further jeopardizing the tires.

Timely Inspection Prevents Future Problems

Now that you understand the risks of driving with a defective shock absorber, it is crucial to remember to inspect it regularly – that is, every 10,000 km or as recommended in your vehicle’s manual. However, if you often drive on dirt roads, it is advisable to have a mechanic evaluate your vehicle even before reaching 10,000 km.

Stay safe on the roads – regularly check the condition of your car’s shock absorbers and avoid future problems.
