How to detect shock absorber problems in the car?

Detecting shock absorber problems in a car is vital to maintain safety and vehicle performance. Here, we show you some of the wearing or damage signals in shock absorbers.

• Excessive sway: if the vehicle sways more than usual in turns or lane changes, this is evidence of worn or damaged shock absorbers.

• Excessive bouncing: If a car bounces several times after going over a bump, it might be an evidence of shock absorber wearing.

• Uneven tyre wearing: worn absorbers may cause an uneven tyre wearing, especially in the thread.

• Unusual noises: noises or cracks coming from the suspension may signal shock absorber issues.
