- Depending on operation mode and demands shock absorbers achieve their function after 60.000 till 80.000 kms only partially
- The power loss of the shock absorbers is a creeping process and is rarely noted by the driver.
- The drivers gets used to the chassis becoming worse and worse

- Independent studies show that in Germany there are about 6 million passenger cars with defect shock absorbers, thus being a safety risk:
- bad road adherence
- extended braking distance
- danger in curves
- aquaplaning
We recommend to check the shock absorbers every 20,000 kms!

|---|---|
| Longer braking distances |
