Shocks are critical components of a complete suspension system. Without them, your vehicle will feel every bump in the road from potholes and uneven terrain as well as an increase in vibrations making it a rather uncomfortable long-haul drive.
What Causes Shock Failure?
A failed shock can lead to stress on other driver safety components, such as tires and airbags, causing them to prematurely fail; but, what actually causes shocks to fail on trucks? For one, weak welds on mounting rings can lead to unsafe driving conditions if broken. Cracked bushings can also cause the shock absorber to break away from the mounts; and lastly, excessive oil loss from poorly designed oil seals can lead to failed vehicle shocks.
