Did you know that bad shock absorbers increase your car's braking distance?


The performance of the engine, efficiency of the brakes and instructions from the steering wheel are transferred to the road by the wheels. But it is the shock absorbers that ensure the wheels will be in contact with the road. Shock absorbers therefore represent one of the basic pillars of safety, not to mention economical and comfortable travel for vehicle occupants.

Safety - Poor shock absorbers can have a negative influence on the vehicle’s handling. Cheap and worn shock absorbers will perform inadequately leading to increased body roll in bends and extending braking distances.

Economy - Inadequate shock absorbers can cause wear and tear on the vehicles tyres, as well as other components that could call for expensive repair at a later date.

Comfort - Driving comfort is one of the most important requirements placed on a modern vehicle. On roads with substandard surfaces, the quality and precision of shock absorbers is depended on most.
 


 

Škoda genuine shock absorbers contribute to the safety of driving thanks to the precise harmonisation of the springs used. 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 high quality design significantly contributes to excellent handling on both dry and wet roads. They also contribute to good grip in bends and add to your driving comfort and satisfaction.
