Suspension & Shock Absorbers are safety issue!!
We do not push down on the corners of the car and guess the result. We use a shock absorber tester.
We do not guess or bounce the car by hand and count the after bounces.
The Graph to shows us the actual condition of that particular wheel's shock absorber.

In emergency braking a faulty shock absorber could have devastating consequences.
The function and operation of shock absorbers are widely misunderstood. They are primarily a safety issue.
When a tyre hits a bump in the road surface, the wheel and suspension moves upwards away from the surface of the road.
Read our post on: Origins of Suspension Systems for Modern Vehicles
The shock absorber’s function is to keep the tyres in contact with the road. If the tyre leaves the road surface, no matter how hard you press the brake pedal, there will be no friction between the rubber of the tyre and the surface of the road.
Thanks to our focused and reliable shock absorber tests and products motorists can trust our team to bring out the best in your vehicle.
One faulty shock absorber in an emergency braking event can extend your stopping distance by up to 3 meters at ±80kph, that is approximately where the driver’s seat back is from the front of the bumper. Early signs of shock absorber failure can be detected on maintenance services. Shock absorber mount bushes swell, crack and compress, Shock absorber seals can leak, Bump stops break.
By selecting our team to conduct shock absorber testing and repair you can guarantee the continued safe operation of your vehicle’s shock absorbers.
- More engines have been destroyed by oil filters than any other filter on the car
- Due to fuel combustion contaminants are deposited in the engine oil.
- As a result the oil Is thicker and does not flow as easily through the narrow channels leading from the sump to the pistons and bearings.
- In addition oil is consumed during the normal operation of the engine. This means that there is less oil in the sump for circulation through the engine.
- The function of the oil filter is as the name suggests, to trap the burnt carbon particles in the oil and not allow them the to return to the parts in the engine that require constant lubrication.
- As more and more contaminants are trapped the flow of oil flow through the oil filter is impeded.
- The compound effect of the thickened oil due to burn off and contaminant pickup eventually blocks the filter medium completely.
- The filter housing has a release valve which opens and sends the unfiltered oil back into the engine and this is the beginning of the end for your engine.
