How Dangerous Is It and What Should You Do?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Can you drive with a broken shock absorber?<\/strong> In some cases, the vehicle may still be able to move. However, you should not continue driving for a long distance. Shock absorbers<\/em><\/mark><\/a> help control the compression and rebound of the springs. They also help keep the tyres in contact with the road and improve vehicle stability during braking, cornering, and driving over uneven surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When a shock absorber is leaking, worn, or damaged, the vehicle may still run normally because the engine and transmission are unaffected. However, vehicle control can become less effective. This is especially noticeable at high speeds, during sudden braking, while cornering, or on wet roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If the vehicle bounces excessively, leans to one side, makes unusual suspension noises, becomes difficult to steer, or the tyre rubs against the wheel arch, stop in a safe place. You should then choose a vehicle inspection centre<\/mark><\/em><\/a> and have the vehicle inspected. Do not continue driving unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
