The car's Shocks need to be replaced, or can they be repaired?
Faulty shock absorbers not only make the ride uncomfortable, but they also put extra stress on the suspension system, affecting important components like bushings. This can result in the vehicle shaking on the road and loss of control. The three main types of shock absorbers used in vehicles include hydraulic, air, and coil-over shocks. The Air and coil-over shocks can be repaired satisfactorily, while for hydraulic shocks, our expert opinion is that replacing them is the best solution. Whether you have a supercar, luxury vehicle, 4x4, or SUV, come to iTyreCare Auto service center Al Quoz, for the best car shock repair or replacement service in Dubai. We provide high-quality service at a very reasonable price. Visit our garage today for a free, comprehensive inspection of your vehicle.
Can bad shocks cause a car to shake?
Yes, because every vehicle has at least one shock absorber installed on all four wheels, which supports the vehicle body through suspension and effectively absorbs road shocks. If any of the shock absorbers are damaged, the vehicle can lose its balance, which can affect the suspension bushings, cause the vehicle to shake, and reduce road grip. Do you feel your car shaking or leaning to one side? Come to our workshop immediately, and our experts will conduct a thorough inspection and fix the problem.

What is the importance of shock absorbers and struts in a car?
The shocks and struts are important parts of the suspension that play a significant role in making the vehicle ride comfortably. Struts combine the functions of shock absorbers and the structural part of the suspension. They support the weight of the car and also help maintain wheel alignment. Shock absorbers reduce the impact of road irregularities and control wheel movement, maintaining vehicle balance and ride comfort. Shock absorbers and struts do not suddenly fail, but gradually weaken and lose their effectiveness over time. Therefore, with timely shock and strut inspection and maintenance, you can maintain your vehicle's road grip and a comfortable ride.
