Inspecting Shock Absorbers
-------------------------------------
A drop in performance of shock absorbers harbors
many risks for drivers. The workshop professional knows when replacement is
necessary and only uses original spare parts. For safety reasons.
Safety Factors Shock Absorbers
-------------------------------------------
Inspection campaigns have confirmed that approx. 14
percent of vehicles tested have got at least one defective shock absorber. For
vehicles with worn or defective shock absorbers, several risks are run at once:
The stopping distance becomes longer, because the car's road contact is no
longer optimally ensured. Many electronic driver assistance systems - such as
the electronic stability program, ESP, ABS, or traction control - require good
road contact of the vehicle to be able to develop their full potential. This
therefore means: The more electronic safety systems are installed in the car,
the more important is the full performance of the shock absorbers.
The stopping distance can increase by up to 14
percent or five and a half meters if you brake at full power from a speed of
100 km/h with shock absorbers which perform only half of their original
function.
Danger of Extended Stopping
---------------------------------------
When braking down from 50 km/h, this can mean that
the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle and thus the separation from
a possible accident is already three and a half meters shorter.
Consequences of shock absorber wear
----------------------------------------------------
If the shock absorbers no longer prevent the car
body from pitching and vibrating, then it is more difficult to control the
vehicle during evasive maneuvers. Its cornering ability generally becomes
unstable; the cars are also more prone to aquaplaning. In addition, the shock
absorber wear has a negative impact in other areas: Tires and chassis
components, such as tie-rod ends or steering devices in turn are exposed to
greater wear.
Drivers do not
notice wear of their shock absorbers - and therefore depend on the professional
advice from their workshop.
