Shock absorbers help ensure your safety and greater driving comfort, because they ensure the permanent contact of your tyres to the road.
Defective shock absorbers are an a security risk and can cause costly damage. Defective shock absorbers increase the risk of aquaplaning and can cause tyres to wear unevenly. Defective shock absorbers also impair the function of ABS (anti-lock braking system) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program).
Shock absorbers should therefore be checked regularly – every 20,000 miles.
