Shock Absorber Testing
We follow our simple procedures to deliver accuracy and results when testing your shocks.
The specialists at every Shock Shop store use a computerized shock teste to determine the performance of your vehicles' individual
shock absorbers and identifying when they need to be replaced.
Industry averages show that shock absorbers are only replaced in 8 out of every 100 cars inspected. Most workshop averages are much lower than this because shock absorbers are not tested.
Many workshops only look for leaking shocks, but all moving parts wear and shock absorbers are no different. The Shock Shop's shock absorber tester employs both the
“rebound method" and “damping ratio”, so you can leave out all the guesswork and offer an accurate diagnosis on your shock absorber performance.
How do you know if you need a shock test?
Does your steering wheel vibrate or have a mind of its own when you're driving?
Does your car feel like it has excessive body roll?
Does the bonnet of your car dip down when you brake to stop or slow down?
Are your tyres wearing unevenly?
Does your car feel soft if you push down on it?
Do your shock absorbers show signs of leakage?
