What is front shock absorber replacement?
Worn front shocks are replaced to restore control, comfort and braking performance.
Shock absorbers control how the springs move. Worn shocks make the car bounce, dive under braking and lose grip on rough roads.
Signs you need it
- Bouncy or floaty ride
- Nose dives when braking
- Oil leaking from shocks
- Uneven tyre wear
How it works
- Inspect shocks and mounts
- Replace shocks in pairs
- Check mounts and bushes
- Alignment if needed
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
