What is Shock
A shock, also known as a shock absorber, is a component of a vehicle's suspension system that is designed to dampen or absorb the impact of bumps, potholes, and other road irregularities. Shocks help to keep the wheels of a vehicle in contact with the road surface, providing handling, stability, and control.
Shocks can wear out over due to use, age, and exposure to the elements. When shocks become worn, they can cause a variety of handling and stability issues, such as excessive bouncing or swaying of the vehicle. inspection and maintenance of shocks is important for ensuring safe and predictable vehicle handling
