Suspension affects the road handling, comfort, braking and traction of the vehicle. Vehicle manufacturers often compromise on one of these factors to give greater comfort and, therefore, sales appeal to new vehicle buyers.

Improved dampers (shock absorbers and/or strut inserts) are available from a wide range of manufacturers, most of whom make both original equipment and an aftermarket range of products.

Owners of all types of vehicles should consider replacing the vehicle's dampers with an upgraded version after the original components cease to perform satisfactorily.

This degradation of suspension performance can vary according to the make and model and the conditions under which the vehicle is used. As a guide, 30,000 to 80,000 kms is the 'norm'.

When new aftermarket shocks/inserts are fitted, an immediate improvement in road handling and comfort should be noticed. In addition, the vehicle should brake better as bumpy road surfaces won't affect the vehicle as greatly. Likewise, traction under acceleration, particularly on rough, bumpy surfaces, should be greatly improved.
