Shock absorbers in bad condition: here are the consequences you face | You’re left dead at the first corner

There are so many interventions that we need to do, at every level, in relation to our cars that just listing them would automatically put us on edge.

As many, moreover, are also possible problems and circumstances where we can find ourselves when, after driving for a long time, or even just in the morning, we have to encounter trouble.

The engine is definitely the most important part delicate as well as the beating heart of our cars and taking care of it is fundamental, but not always we can do it.

Even more: there are few who really know where to put them hands and, indeed, beyond small ‘cabotage’ maintenance, the advice is always to don’t venture out.

There are some components that must be ‘touched’ and if necessary repaired only by professionalsbecause otherwise we would risk doing it damage worse than the damage itself.

The case of shock absorbers, what can happen

One of the emblematic cases is that of shock absorbers which can be found in bad condition: what can happen? If the suspensions don’t work, it’s clear that the consequences could be harmful for us, especially in terms of safety. Shock absorbers are crucial elements for the functionality of a vehicle, and affect not only safety but also performance and internal comfort.

One of the main problems we encounter is the loss of control: the shock absorber that does not work well does not absorbs the impacts, and this makes the our less stable, less maneuverable car and Already unpredictable. The risk of accident it’s really high and we can go encounter to sudden unsuitable movements.

Other risks on the road

If the shock absorbers are no longer perfectly workinganother of the dangers is braking, since the tires lose grip with the road and there is a greater need for space and distance to reach a adequate arrest.

Balancing itself also risks becoming a problem, contributing to increasing the risk of one collision, of an accident or to end up off road after certain jolts in the road, perhaps due to irregularities in the pavement, can cause our trajectory to deviate. Damage to other components, then, they always have to take into account a series of performance failures even for short stretches of road.

Indeed, especially in the city, where maintenance is often not at the top and you find yourself in the presence of holes or irregularities in the surfacethe risk of finding yourself in trouble is high.
