Our repairs come with:Let me guess: You probably don’t pay much attention to your scheduled maintenance or your car’s manual. Who needs it, anyway? Well, you do. So, listen up. Not all cars call for the shock absorbers to be replaced as part of scheduled maintenance, but some cars do. This is done as a preventative measure, to replace the absorbers before they die and potentially cause damage to other parts of your car.
Here’s a news flash: Your car uses a lot of different fluids, and, as a result, a lot of different things can leak. If you notice a leak coming from your car, it could be a number of different things. It probably isn’t the shock absorber - that’s fairly low on the scale of things that you’ll find leaking - but it could be.
If you’re noticing that your car has a bumpier than usual ride, it’s a pretty good sign that something might be wrong with your suspension. That something just might be the shock absorbers. Old school wooden roller coasters might be fun, but let’s keep that feeling at the amusement park, shall we?
Here’s something that I really shouldn’t have to tell you: Your car shouldn’t make weird noises. When it does make a weird noise, it’s usually because there’s something broken that needs to be fixed. If your shock absorbers have kicked the bucket, then you might hear a knocking noise coming from your car.
If your shock absorbers aren’t doing your job, then your car will be making uneven contact with the road. This will often result in your tires being worn unevenly. It’s a good idea to check the wear of your tires regularly, so that you can spot any weird wear patterns before they become bigger issues.
