Good question! Worn shocks can make your drive unsafe without you even realising it. If your car feels bouncy, dips forward when braking, or leans too much on corners, your shocks might be due for replacement. You might also notice uneven tyre wear or a “floating” feeling at higher speeds. A simple test: push down hard on the bonnet or boot, if the car bounces more than once, it’s time for a check-up. Don’t wait too long; shocks affect braking and handling, so replacing them early keeps you safer on the road.
