How Do Worn Shocks & Struts Affect Braking Distance?

Feb 21, 2024 Leave a message

The rear and front shock absorbers in your vehicle are designed to keep the tires on the ground while driving on the road. However, if something goes wrong with them, they won't be able to do this.

When the contact between the tire and the road is not firm, the braking effect is poor. Worn shock absorbers will make them bounce more on the pavement.

Worn shock absorbers or struts can increase braking distance by up to 2 meters at 50 kilometers per hour!

Therefore, good rear or front shock absorbers play a vital role in vehicle performance, handling and braking.
