Suspension
Without suspension in a vehicle the occupants would feel every bump in the road making for a very uncomfortable ride in addition to which the road handling and braking of the vehicle would be badly affected. Vehicle suspension consists of a system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages connecting the vehicle to the wheels.
At R and T Autocentre we supply and fit high quality parts for all your suspension needs.
Suspension Overview
Shock absorber regulates the movement of the spring
Objective: To keep the tyre in contact with the road by pushing it down
- 85% of all vehicles which go to the scrap yard still have their original shocks
- Shocks & springs are only replaced when they have failed
- Shock absorbers are a safety critical component and should be treated as a maintenance item
How do shocks wear?
Wear is gradual
- Oil passes through the valves with every movement of the car
- 1,000 times per mile for 1st valve
- After 75,000 miles, that’s 75,000,000 times!
- Valves loosen up, allowing oil to pass through piston faster
- Symptoms are harshness, bouncing
