Shock Absorber
Shock absorbers (dampers) control spring movement and keep the tyres in contact with the road. Heat thins the oil inside and wears the seals, so shocks in the UAE often fail earlier than the 80,000 km many drivers expect. Worn shocks lengthen braking distance and cause cupped tyre wear.

Signs your Shock Absorber needs replacing
- Car bounces more than once after a bump
- Nose-dive under braking or rear squat on acceleration
- Oil leaking down the shock body
- Cupped or scalloped tyre wear
When to replace
Replace in axle pairs at the first signs of leaking or bounce, typically every 60,000–100,000 km. Renew top mounts and bump stops with front struts.
