Shock Absorbers : Expert Shock Absorber Testing

Many car owners in New Zealand overlook the dangers of worn shock absorbers and suspension issues. Even minor wear can result in longer stopping distances, unpredictable steering, and reduced vehicle control.

Our service team at ShockPro Workshops use advanced shock absorber tester systems to detect hidden suspension faults early, ensuring your safety on the road. Our specialised procedures provide a detailed suspension test to assess your car’s performance, so you can drive with confidence.

Why Worn Shocks Harm Control

Failing shocks lead to uneven wear on tyres, unstable steering, and difficulty managing sudden manoeuvres. When our shock absorber test identifies underperforming shocks, we take immediate action to repair and resolve the issue.

Using advanced diagnostic tools and premium replacement parts, we restore your vehicle’s handling, ensuring smooth suspension performance across New Zealand’s varied terrains. Our repairs will enhance handling and regain the safety required for  tight turns and efficient braking.

Precision Suspension Test Results

Suspension systems are often neglected under the assumption they remain effective indefinitely. In reality, regular suspension testing is crucial for maintaining vehicle safety. Our testing evaluates how your shocks and springs respond to compression and rebound, ensuring balanced tyre contact for optimal road grip and performance.
