FAQs

The principal car suspension components include a coil spring and a shock absorber (dampener). These shocks and springs combine together to dampen down and cushion the vehicle, by absorbing the impact from potholes and other minor failures in the road. The suspension system is fundamental in keeping your vehicle stable, not to mention keeping your tyres firmly in contact with the road surface for the greatest possible time (which is essential for your brakes to work effectively). Worn shock absorbers can add significant distance to your braking through lessened contact with the road.
Sagging is often the result of a broken spring or shock. Driving your car in this state can be very dangerous for handling the vehicle, so please get the car checked out as soon as possible if you feel the suspension is sagging. Call your local Bush Tyres branch today to book your appointment.

Mors Factory in Paris first fitted shock absorbers to a car in 1901. Further advances in this technology were made in 1906 by the Brush Motor Company who add coil springs to a car and then in 1920 by Leyland Motors who added torsion bars in a suspension system.
