Is it dangerous to drive with worn front shocks?

Yes, worn shocks significantly increase stopping distance and reduce tyre grip, especially over uneven surfaces — this is a genuine safety concern worth addressing promptly.

Should front shocks be replaced in pairs?

Yes, it’s strongly recommended to replace both sides together for consistent, predictable handling.

What is the shock absorber made of?

A steel body containing hydraulic fluid (or gas) and a piston mechanism.

What is this part and why does it matter?

The front shock absorber (damper) controls the rate at which the front suspension compresses and rebounds, keeping the tyre in contact with the road and providing a controlled ride.

Frequently asked questions

Without proper damping, the tyre bounces rather than maintaining consistent contact with the road, which wears the tread unevenly, often in a cupped or scalloped pattern.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
