Bad Front Shocks Symptoms. In this video I am going to explain the common signs that your front shocks or struts are wearing out and need to be replaced. Knowing the symptoms of bad front shock absorbers is important for every driver in order to recognize suspension issues early and have worn parts repaired or replaced promptly. This will cover what to look out for so you can maintain safe braking, handling, comfort and prevent costly damage to other components from neglected shock or strut problems.
The key symptoms that indicate bad front shocks I will cover include excessive bouncing that continues after hitting bumps, nose-diving when braking, loose handling or squirrelly feel when turning or changing lanes, uneven tire wear on the front tires often more severe on the edges, leakage of oil around the shock cylinder, knocking noises from the front suspension over bumps, and front end sagging lower than the rear. These are all common signs your front suspension shocks or struts are failing and allowing too much unwanted movement and oscillation. Catching damper issues early pays off in the long run.
In the video I outline what each of these front shock absorber failure symptoms mean for your vehicle's ride, handling, tire wear life and repair costs. Understanding why worn out shocks or struts lead to more bounce, braking dive, loss of traction, squirrelly feel and faster tire wear helps identify suspension issues. Bad shock absorbers function leads to loss of control in braking, steering, acceleration and over uneven roads. This video covers exactly what to look and feel for so you know when to have your front shocks inspected and replaced if failing. Learn about the importance of addressing damper failure promptly for best safety, performance and value.
