What are shock absorbers?
Shock absorbers make up part of the suspension system. Designed to reduce the effects of shock from bumps in the road surfaces shock absorbers are key to both your comfort and the car’s handling.
Signs of a broken shock absorber
If you feel unusual vibrations when driving or notice your steering become less responsive, it may be time to replace the shock absorber in your car. Other signs that it’s time for a replacement include uneven tyre wear, bad vibrations in the steering wheel, and a leaking shock absorber.
With your shocks being subjected to so many forces, it is normal for them to become worn out over time and are usually replaced between 50,000 and 100,000 miles.
Once you’ve browsed our front and rear shock absorber collection, why not explore our wider selection of car suspension and steering parts? This range includes an even larger collection of suspension essentials, including suspension arms, ball joints, stabilising links, and more, as well as a choice of steering products.
