GEDDES 636 7064 SHOCK ABSORBER REPLACEMENT AUCKLAND

Geddes Automotive Onehunga Auckland replace shock absorbers for cars vans & trucks. Worn shocks, shocks leaking oil, gas shock replacement service.

Most shock absorbers can not be repaired, the shocks need to be replaced! Car suspension shocks can normally not have the gas refilled, whereas boot and bonnet stays can have the gas replenished.

It is always best to replace a pair of shocks, the left hand front or rear shock and the right hand front or rear shock. By replacing both LH & RH shock the vehicle will handle the road conditions better than if you just replace the damaged or oil leaking shock absorber.

When a wheel hits a bump or hole in the road the wheel is forced to raise and lower. Through this movement the steering geometry changes, the wheel can loose contact with the road and your vehicle can change the direction from which it was travelling. This action can be called "BUMP STEER".

It is the normal expectation that shock absorbers could need to be replaced after approximately 70,000 kilometers, however some shocks do not fail a warrant of fitness (WOF) until more than double that distance.

WHAT IS A GAS SHOCK?

A gas shock is similar to a hydraulic shock except it is charged with a gas. When a shock is working hard (going up and down) the hydraulic oil becomes airrated. The gas helps to push the air out of the oil helping the shock to work more efficiently.
