The first thing that comes to mind when "Shock Absorbers" are mentioned is - a smoooooth ride!
And that's true . . .
But more importantly they are one of the several important components to a SAFE ride because:
#1) Worn shocks affect your vehicle's optimum ability to stop by improperly distributing your car's weight and energy to it's brakes in a manner inconsistent with the manufacturer's specifications
#2) Worn shocks affect your vehicle's ability to turn, particularly when "at speed" by not distributing weight and energy properly to tires
#3) Worn shocks affect your ability to control your vehicle in starts, stops, and turns - a serious SAFETY issue!
And lastly, Shock Absorbers are also an important component of costs, in that their lack of performance will cause Brakes and Tires to wear our much more quickly.
A rule of thumb is to have your Shock Absorbers reviewed for replacement every 50,000 miles.
