Your vehicle's suspension system is a complex series of components designed to work together to absorb the vibrations and undulations from the road surface, this keeps your vehicle stable and your tyres firmly in contact with the road surface for the maximum amount of time. A worn shock absorber does not absorb these undulations effectively and as such does not keep the tyres in contact with the road as well as it should. In fact, at 30mph, worn shock absorbers can add up to 2 meters to your braking distance! Maintaining a healthy vehicle suspension system is vital if you are to gain the optimum comfort, stability and handling characteristics from your vehicle.

It is not always obvious that a problem in your vehicle suspension system is present. This is generally due to a gradual loss of performance in the principle suspension parts and because this happens over time a motorist may not always feel the gradual decrease in suspension performance. Seafield Services will happily check your suspension fo you to ensure that everything is working correctly.
