Not just for ride comfort, shocks are necessary for the safe handling of your vehicle. By maintaining vertical loads placed up on the tires, shocks help ensure consistent tire-to-road contact. Shocks also help maintain a balanced ride by providing resistance to vehicle bounce, roll and sway as well as brake dive and acceleration squat. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e CAUSES \u0026amp; CONSEQUENCES OF SHOCK FAILURE \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Like many parts on your vehicle, shocks are subject to wear. Causes include damaged bushings, exposure to the elements, loss of oil viscosity and deteriorated components. Driving with worn shocks can result in problems ranging from reduced braking efficiency, tire wear, loss of stability and damage to other suspension parts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e DIAGNOSING NOISE WITH NEW SHOCKS \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e If noise is present with a replacement shock absorber, check that the mount is tightened securely and look for other worn suspension parts. Some shock absorbers utilize a \"clevis\" type mount, which must squeeze the sides of the shock's \"mounting sleeve\" very securely in order to prevent noise. Using new hardware and mounting bolts help ensure its tightened securely. Check the brackets to make sure they didn’t get spread apart excessively when the original shock was removed. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNMENT \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Always perform an alignment whenever replacement shocks, struts or other ride control parts are installed. Camber, toe and caster settings can all be affected by installing new shocks. Failure to make sure the vehicle’s alignment is within factory specifications can lead to problems like premature tire wear. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e HOW TO CONDUCT A SHOCK INSPECTION \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Shocks may not show any visible signs of wear, make sure to request a ride control inspection every time your vehicle is brought in for service to ensure they’re in optimal operating condition. When inspecting a vehicle’s shocks: assess how the vehicle is used and perform ride and physical evaluations. Get an understanding of the vehicle’s repair history, the way the vehicle handles and its intended use for clues if the shocks might need changing. Next, take the vehicle for a test drive to determine whether the vehicle’s steering, stopping and stability are compromised. Wrap up the inspection with a physical examination for symptoms of wear which may indicate new shocks are required. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41195788795948,"sku":"72d972af-4fd0-49f7-956b-28166446f0e7","price":40.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4960\/8236\/products\/dcdafe1c095a54dde1c19cdd9297283e.jpg?v=1683128068","url":"https:\/\/perfectfitpart.com\/products\/gas-magnum-34839-shock-absorber","provider":"PERFECTFITPARTSUS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
