Shocks & Suspension
At BestDrive Paarden Eiland, we can check your car's shocks and suspension for wear so that you're ready to tackle your next adventure with confidence.
Shocks, or shock absorbers, are critical for your safety on the road. Their primary function is to keep your car's wheels in contact with the road. Often drivers don't notice when their shocks wear out, which is why you should get them checked — especially if your vehicle is over three years old. Worn shocks reduce your ability to control the car.
With the best alignment and suspension specialist in the Western Cape on our staff, you can trust you're in good hands. We offer a comprehensive range of quality shocks at affordable prices, including Gabriel shocks, Monroe shocks and KYB shocks.
Signs your shocks or suspension need attention
- Your car bounces excessively over bumps or dips in the road.
- The vehicle nose-dives when braking or leans heavily in turns.
- Uneven tyre wear, especially cupping or scalloping on the tread.
- Steering feels loose, wanders or vibrates at speed.
- Oil or fluid is leaking from the shock absorber body.
- You hear knocking or clunking noises from the suspension.
