Regular maintenance is essential to extending the life of your Bilstein shock absorbers.

Performance Issues

Be aware of the signs that your shock absorbers may need attention. Unusual noises, such as clunking or squeaking, can indicate a problem. Uneven tire wear can also be a symptom of failing shocks. Changes in handling, such as increased body roll or a bouncy ride, are other indicators. Address any performance issues promptly to maintain safety and driving comfort.
