Feeling Every Pothole? Shock Repair Can Help!
A shock absorber controls the movement of a car’s suspension and keeps the tires in contact with the road. Modern vehicles use mechanical and hydraulic shocks to improve ride comfort and vehicle stability. Over time, a faulty shock absorber not only makes your ride uncomfortable but also puts extra strain on the suspension system, leading to uneven tire wear, unusual noises, and damage to critical parts such as bushes, control arms, and ball joints.
Notice every bump or pothole feeling harsher than usual? That’s a clear warning that your car's shock absorption system needs attention before it causes more serious problems. Whether your vehicle has a hydraulic, air, twin-tube, or magnetorheological suspension system, our experienced team has the expertise to inspect, maintain, and fix them for a smoother, safer ride.
At iTyreCare, we have been providing top-tier auto services in the UAE since 2015, including expert shock absorber replacement to keep your car performing at its best. Trust our specialists for reliable car shock repair that restores comfort, safety, and control to every drive.

Signs shock absorber need to be serviced
Bumpy Ride
If your car feels rough on the road and every bump seems exaggerated, your shock absorbers may be worn out.
Uneven Tire Wear
Worn-out shock absorbers cause poor road grip, leading to uneven tire wear and reduced stability.
Excessive Bouncing
A vehicle that continues to bounce after hitting a speed bump or pothole is a clear sign of faulty shocks.
Leaking Shock Absorbers
If you notice fluid leaking from your shocks, they need immediate attention to prevent further suspension damage.
What is the importance of shock absorbers and struts in a car?
Shocks and struts are what stand between you and every bump, crack, and pothole on the road. They keep the tyres in contact with the surface and stop the car from bouncing around after every dip. Proper shock maintenance ensures your suspension responds the way it should — especially in Dubai where speed bumps are everywhere and the heat takes a toll on rubber and fluid components.
Struts serve a dual purpose. They're structural, meaning they support the vehicle's weight and affect wheel alignment. Shocks, on the other hand, focus purely on damping — controlling how fast the suspension compresses and rebounds. When either starts wearing out, you'll notice the car feeling loose in corners, diving hard under braking, or just riding rougher than usual.
The tricky part is that shocks and struts don't fail suddenly. They degrade slowly, so you adjust to the worsening ride without realising it. That's why periodic inspections matter — catching the wear early keeps handling predictable and prevents uneven tyre wear down the line.

FAQ's
Pay attention to how your car reacts after a bump. A healthy shock absorbs the impact and settles immediately — one bounce, done. If the car keeps bouncing or feels unsettled, that's your shocks losing their grip. This is usually when drivers realise they need shock absorber repair — the ride starts feeling off, even on roads you drive daily.
The back of your car behaves differently when the rear shocks start going. Most drivers notice it as a bouncy, unsettled feeling — you hit a bump and the rear keeps moving while the front has already settled. That mismatch is hard to ignore once it starts. It's the main reason people come in for rear shock repair — something just feels wrong, even if they can't pinpoint it at first.
Shock absorber repair prices start from AED 525, which may vary depending on the type of shocks and the make and model of the vehicle. Visit our garage in Al Quoz, Dubai for a free inspection of your vehicle today.
You can, but it's not ideal. When it comes to car shock absorber replacement, we always recommend doing both shocks on the same axle together. If one has worn out, the other has been through the same roads, same bumps, and same kilometres — so it's likely not far behind. Replacing just one leaves you with uneven damping across the axle.
Noise is usually the first clue. If you hear a hollow clunk or knock when driving over bumps, the shock mount is often the culprit. The rubber inside the mount hardens over time and stops cushioning the shock against the chassis. That's when most drivers end up needing shock mount replacement — the sound becomes impossible to ignore, especially at low speeds over speed bumps.
Braking tells you a lot. If the front of your car dives hard every time you slow down — like it's nodding forward — the shocks have lost their ability to control weight transfer. This is one of the most common reasons drivers come in for front shock repair. The sensation gets worse during sudden stops or when you're braking on a decline.
