DRIVER SAFETY: WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY SHOCKS?
Shocks are critical to driving safety. At 50 Kph, even one worn shock can increase stopping distance by two metres. We recommend that motorists check their shocks and struts every 12 months or 20,000 kms, usually in conjunction with a wheel alignment.
Under normal conditions, shocks wear out gradually and you may not notice incremental losses in ride quality, handling and control. Some signs that your vehicle may have worn shocks include excessive bouncing, rocking back and forth, drifting or nose-diving while braking, swaying, or cupping wear on the tyres.
Western Brake and Steering can check your shocks to see if they're working properly. If they do need replacement, we can recommend the KYB shocks or struts that are right for your vehicle and the way you drive. If an inspection reveals the need for new shocks, consider premium shocks made especially for your driving habits. If you are a truck or SUV owner, upgrading your shocks can bring a big improvement in overall ride quality and handling. |
