What Do Shocksand Struts Do?

UNDERSTANDING THE SAFETY TRIANGLE ™

INTERCONNECTED UNDERCAR PARTS THAT COULD AFFECT A DRIVER’S ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

STEERINGShocks / struts help evenly distributeyour car’s weight over all four tires,

improving handling during turns.

STOPPINGShocks / struts and brakes work together to help yourvehicle stop sooner under certain driving conditions,by keeping tires and wheels in contact with the road.

STABILITYShocks / struts and tires work together to help

maximize tire-to-road contact, improvingvehicle stability and minimizing weight transfer.

WHAT IS THE SAFETY TRIANGLE™ INSPECTION?The Safety Triangle™ Inspection consists of a three-part process during which a professional technician (1) interviews the owner of the vehicle, (2) evaluates how the vehicle rides, and (3) physically evalutes the vehicle components.

The Safety Triangle™ Inspection checks critical interconnected system components that control steering, stopping and stability. Going beyond tires and brakes to include shocks, struts, springs, tie rod ends, ball joints and a host of other suspension and chassis parts, the Safety Triangle™ is vital to a driver’s ability to avoid accidents. Just one worn part could diminish vehicle control and compromise safety.

For your safety, have a complete Safety Triangle™ Inspection every time your vehicle is brought in for tire, brake or alignment service.

OUT OF SIGHT… OUT OF MIND? OUT OF THE QUESTION!PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIANS SUGGEST THAT YOU PROTECT WHAT’S IMPORTANT! REPLACE WORN SHOCKS AND STRUTS AS SUGGESTED BY YOUR TECHNICIAN TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL VEHICLE SAFETY.

THE REAL COST OF WORN SHOCKS… VEHICLE SAFETYMost drivers have a significant investment in their vehicle – from the cost of the vehicle, to the expense of replacing components. Worn shocks and struts may contribute to degrading a vehicle’s tires, as well as suspension components.

Now, consider the REAL cost of worn shocks and struts… vehicle safety. Worn shocks increase stopping distance up to 3 metres.* That may not seem like much, but in a sudden braking situation – or in traffic – the consequences may be much more than vehicle damage.

Professional technicians suggest that you protect what’s important – replace worn shocks and struts, as suggested.*At 96 kph. Tests performed on dry, bumpy surface. Actual results may vary depending upon driver, vehicle type, and the type of driving and road conditions.

Deliver consistent braking to help youstop up to 3 metres sooner *

Maintain tire to road contact and eliminate excessive bounce (wheel hop)

and may help prevent premature tire wear

Improve control by reducing weight transfer, sway and roll and

decreasing brake dive

May help reduce premature wear and failure of other suspension components

WHAT DOES YOUR ODOMETER READ?EXPERTS RECOMMEND THAT RIDE CONTROL COMPONENTS BE INSPECTEDAT 80,000 KILOMETRES TO HELP IDENTIFY WORN VEHICLE COMPONENTS WHICH COULD AFFECT YOUR STEERING, STOPPING AND STABILITY

INSPECT YOUR SHOCKS AND STRUTS AT

KILOMETRES.

What Does YourOdometer Read?

The Motorist Assurance Program (MAP) believes that FURTHER INSPECTION IS REQUIRED of ride control units, in any vehicles using OEM hydraulic fluid and/or gas-charged shocks or struts (not electronically-controlled units) with 80,000 kilometres or more on the unit(s), – and should include a pointed interview with the vehicle owner, a thorough ride control component inspection and a test drive of the vehicle.

STEP 1START THE CONVERSATIONMany vehicle owners often can’t detect the gradual degradation of steering, stopping and stability caused over time by worn ride control components

Have you noticed a need to slowdown to gain control?

Have you experienced repeated replacement of front brakes, suspension components, or tires?

Is the vehicle difficult, or stressful to control at highway speeds, during windy conditions or when loaded?

Have you noticed degradation in the ride quality over time?

✓✓✓✓✓

✓✓

STEP 2PERFORM A RIDE EVALUATIONDetermine whether the vehicle’s steering, stopping and stability are compromised

Nose Dive – Front end dips, collapses

Body Roll – Top of vehicle tips side to side

Harshness/Buckboard – Jarring effect on light bumps

Traction Loss – Tire(s) skipping

Bottoms-out – Suspension hits travel limiting jounst bumper

Swerving – side to side looseness

Acceleration Squat – Rising front-end diving rear-end

STEP 3PERFORM A PHYSICAL EVALUATIONTechnicians follow strict guidelines to determine shock and strut condition

Jounce Bumper damaged, smashed, missing, show signs of repeated contact

Shock/Strut Binding / Seized / Actively Leaking

Air Shock/Strut with a torn or leaking bladder/boot

Shock/Strut Piston Rod or housing damaged, bent or dented

(Any) Shock/Strut measures significantly hotter or cooler than other units
