Signs of a worn shock absorber
If you detect any of these signs of wear, then it’s time to fit Gabriel Shock Absorbers.
 |
A vibrating steering wheel
Worn or damaged shock absorbers reduce the grip of the tyre on the road, which can cause your steering wheel to vibrate.
|
 |
Vehicle 'diving' when braking
If your car plunges forward when you brake, your shock absorbers are probably worn or damaged. This can be very dangerous as it increases your braking distances.
|
 |
Unpredictable handling in bends
Worn or damaged shock absorbers reduce the contact of the tyre on the road. This becomes very apparent when driving around a bend.
|
 |
Uneven wear on tyres
This can be caused by worn shock absorbers or an incorrect setting of the parallelism.
|
 |
Sensitivity to side winds
Another serious indicator of worn shock absorbers that requires urgent attention.
|
 |
Oil leaks from the shock absorbers
Indicates worn shock absorbers that urgently need to be replaced.

Remember! The loss of grip on the road caused by worn shock absorbers is one of the main causes of road accidents. Get them checked.
