Worn shock absorbers

The dampers They are an important element in the suspension, direction, braking of the vehicle since if the dampers are worn would directly influence the steering control, the ability to contact the road ground and the braking distance. A periodic inspection is recommended for your safety and that of your passengers, the effects that may occur from having defective shock absorbers can be:

• on the steering wheel some dampers worn will produce an increase in the oscillations, the imbalance of the vehicle and reduce the contact of the tires with the surface of the road, these factors make the car more unstable, resulting in more difficult to take curves and in the maneuverability of the vehicle.
• The dampers Worn tires cannot guarantee a safe and adequate contact of the tires with the road surface, that is why the driving conditions deteriorate, and that is why driving becomes dangerous.
• fluid leaks from the shock absorber They are frequent, but easily detectable because we will find liquid on the floor or in the shock absorber. In this case, the shock absorber must be replaced immediately. shock absorber.
• Another symptom of worn shock absorbers It is the irregular wear of the tires together with a loss of alignment, the tires will wear unevenly, every time you change tires check the shock absorbers.
• The dampers When worn, they cause them to bounce on the road, especially those with uneven surfaces. Therefore, when the brakes are applied, the vehicle will not stop properly, prolonging the braking distance, which can cause accidents.
• One way to check if our adeadenedr is in good condition is to press on one end of our automobile com. force down then release; if more than one and a half or two bounces occur, change the dampers. the time in which we must review our dampers should not exceed 20.000 to 30.000 KM maximum.
