Worn dampers can make a car feel floaty, increase body movement and reduce tyre contact on rough roads. We inspect the shock or strut, mounts and related suspension before replacement.
Shock absorbers and struts are commonly replaced in axle pairs where condition and design make that appropriate. Mounts, bump stops and bearings may also need attention.
Common reasons to book
- Shock absorber leaking
- Excessive bouncing
- Vehicle feels unstable
