Safe because they significantly influence the car’s handling. Lower performance by shock absorbers markedly worsens, in particular, the “sitting” of the car in bends and extends its braking distance.
Economical because shock absorbers with worse effectiveness most affect wear and tear on the tyres. If there is poor shock absorption, other car parts are also subject to mechanical wear and tear and then require expensive repairs.
Comfortable because, in particular, on roads with a worse surface, the quality and precision of shock absorbers are felt the most. Driving comfort is one of the most important requirements placed on a modern vehicle.
Škoda genuine shock absorbers contribute to the safety of driving thanks to the precise harmonisation of the springs used and the weight of the car. When driving on a wet road, the quality of genuine shock absorbers reduces the possibility of aquaplaning. They also have a marked influence on the braking distance, wear and tear on tyres and wear on chassis and undercarriage parts. Their design, high quality and certainty of optimum function significantly contribute to excellent handling on dry and wet roads, they also contribute to good grip primarily in bends and to driving comfort and overall ease.
The replacement of shock absorbers is performed based on the results of professional diagnosis, i.e. at the moment when there is a real need.
