Shock absorbers and suspension components keep your tyres in contact with the road. They control body roll, stop the vehicle from bouncing after bumps and keep steering precise. Gravel roads, corrugations, farm tracks and heavy loads in the Northern Cape wear suspension much faster than tar driving, and worn shocks lengthen braking distances and wear tyres unevenly.
Signs your shocks or suspension are worn
- The vehicle keeps bouncing after a bump or dip
- Nose-diving under braking or squatting when accelerating
- Knocking or clunking noises over bumps
- Uneven or cupped tyre wear
- Oil leaking down the body of the shock absorber
- Wandering steering or the bakkie feels unstable with a load
What we stock
We stock shock absorbers, coil and leaf spring components, bushes, ball joints, tie-rod ends, stabiliser links and steering parts for cars, bakkies and 4x4s. Monroe shock absorbers are a popular choice, and we can advise on heavy-duty options for bakkies that carry loads or tow.
