What's included in a front shock absorber replacement for Ford S-MAX?
What's included
| No additional work without your approval | |
| We only use manufacturer parts or equivalent | |
| All parts and labour are protected with our Fixter 12-month warranty |
When you drive over a bump, the piston inside the cylinder moves up and down against the gas/fluid and the spring, absorbing the shock from the bump. The strut assembly takes a beating over time, especially on bumpy roads. It will eventually start leaking the gas/liquid, leaving you with an unstable or rugged ride. With worn out struts, it is possible that the tires could lose contact with the road and/or the tires will wear out prematurely.
