OPTIONAL MAINTENANCE SUGGESTED AS MAINTENANCE

If you want to keep your vehicle operating the way it was designed to: Then Strobe Shock Absorbers and most industry experts suggest replacement shocks and struts after 60,000 km, however we strongly advise that this only applies to geographical areas with maintained roads otherwise in bumpy and uneven roads, you will have to change them whenever necessary.

TO RESTORE, CONDITIONS-BASED

If your vehicle has excessive ride control conditions such as nose-dive or harshness: Right now, is the right time to replace your shocks.

NECESSITY REPAIR

If your shocks and struts are damaged, causing tire cupping or leaking to the point of dripping: Then you have failed units and replacement becomes a necessity at this time.

To further simplify the reasons to replace:

1. UPGRADE

Vehicles are generally designed to handle a broad range of purposes: Passenger ride comfort on one side, load and terrain capabilities on the other. When your typical use of a vehicle sometimes or always stresses heavier loads, top heavy, towing or off-road conditions, you may want to consider replacing the shocks with units that exceed original equipment capabilities.

Strobe shock Absorbers offers many higher-performing both “light-duty and heavy-duty gas shocks” for this purpose.

2. MAINTENANCE

Even on well paved roads the shocks can move up or down 1,500 to 1,900 times every km/mile: In 50,000 km that can exceed 75 million cycles. Over time, performance tends to decrease gradually, and the motorist usually doesn’t realize how much handling and control is lost. Replacing shocks and struts after 50,000km and or whenever it is necessary can keep the vehicle performing the way it was designed and extend its life expectancy.

3. DOESN’T PERFORM WITHIN VEHICLE DESIGN

Worn out shocks and struts eventually causes ride control conditions to worsen to a degree that impairs the drivers’ ability to control the vehicle. Road testing and vehicle inspections by a qualified technician every 5,000 km is recommended to identify and keep the motorist informed about these conditions.

4. REPLACE FAILED SHOCKS

Shock or strut failures are a driving safety hazard. If you can’t control your vehicle, then it controls you. Evidence of failures includes things like; excessive bounce, units leaking to the point of fluid dripping, tyres that are cupping and visual component damage.

A “COMPLETELY FAILED” SHOCK OR STRUT MAY:

• Leak hydraulic fluid.
• Cause uneven or cupped tire wear.
• Create unsafe driving conditions.
• Make knocking noises or rattles.
• Create vehicle swaying and require constant steering corrections
• Increase Braking Distance
