The collapse of Barings bank 1995

For your safety, you must have your vehicle inspected by a professional garage if you suspect that your shock absorbers are faulty.

This will help you determine whether there is an issue with your suspension, and which side of the car this is affecting.

Your shock absorbers may need to be replaced if tyre tread looks wavy, your car bounces more than usual when driving over bumps, or your stopping distance is up to 20% further than usual.

Without a working suspension system, your car could lose grip on the road, so you must have suspension issues fixed promptly.

The main functions of the suspension system are to absorb the energy transferred through your car’s wheels, and to help your car ride smoothly – even on uneven terrain.

Sprung mass is the vehicle’s mass supported on the springs, whilst unsprung mass is the mass supported between the road and the springs.

Most modern cars are front-wheel drive, so need flexible, response front suspension to work properly. This is known as independent suspension, which allows each wheel on the same axle to move on its own.

When working well, the suspension system helps to support the weight of the vehicle, prevents excessive bouncing, and maintains optimal tyre contact with the road.

Struts still dampen the spring’s bounciness, but also provide more structural support for the suspension than shock absorbers do.

While cars can use the same suspension system at the front and rear, most vehicles use a mix of dependent and independent.
