WHAT DOES YOUR ODOMETER READ?

GET YOUR SHOCKS CHECKED AT 50,000 MILES / 80,000 KILOMETRES

EXPERTS RECOMMEND AUTOMOTIVE SHOCKS AND STRUTS BE INSPECTED AT 50,000 MILES / 80,000 KILOMETRES
Ride control components wear out due to everyday driving and a variety of load and road conditions

  • Shocks and struts may not show any visible signs of wear, but internal components may be past their useful life which could affect your steering, stopping and stability
  • Typical shocks and struts “stroke” an average of 1,750 cycles per mile – that’s 21 million cycles per 12,000 miles / 19,300 kilometres!
  • Shocks and struts are susceptible to additional wear caused by heavy use and severe road / environmental conditions
  • Ride control components interact with – and depend on – other key steering and suspension parts

RIDE EVALUATION

DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE’S STEERING, STOPPING AND STABILITY ARE COMPROMISED

  • Do small or large road indents (or potholes) seem unusually harsh?
  • Does the vehicle bounce or float excessively?
  • Is the vehicle difficult or stressful to control at highway speeds, during windy conditions or when loaded?
  • Does the vehicle dive, squat, roll or sway rapidly during steering or handling maneuvers?
  • Does the vehicle lack directional stability on rough roads?
  • Does the suspension top or bottom out abruptly?
  • Any excessive or unusual noises from the suspension?

PHYSICAL EVALUATION

SYMPTOMS OF PHYSICAL WEAR WHICH MAY INDICATE NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS ARE REQUIRED:

  • Are there any signs of physical damage which could compromise the ride control unit’s ability to function as intended?
  • Is the rod bent, rusted, loose or scratched?
  • Does the air shock have a torn or leaking air boot?
  • Is fluid leaking down the side or o the bottom of the unit?
  • Has corrosion compromised the integrity of any components which make up the shock or strut?
  • Are non-replaceable bushings damaged or missing?
  • Do the vehicle’s tires display cupped, uneven or accelerated tire wear?
  • Is the electronic unit producing a diagnostic code indicating failure?
  • NOTE: This may require additional electronic circuit diagnostics
