FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know my shocks are worn?
Excessive bouncing, fluid leaks on the shock body and knocking over bumps are common signs of worn dampers.
Do worn suspension fail an MOT?
Yes. Excessive play, leaking shocks and broken springs are MOT failure items.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
We recommend replacing shocks on the same axle together for balanced handling.
Do you do wheel alignment after suspension work?
Yes. We check and adjust alignment after any suspension component replacement.
Can suspension noise be something other than shocks?
Yes. Worn bushes, top mounts and drop links also cause knocking. We inspect the full system.
