Issues With My Car by stanfford: 7:51am On Jul 11, 2017 |
Gurus in the house, I use a Toyota Camry 04, I recently discovered that my car swerves and nose dives when I'm braking, I also discover excessive vibration on steering when braking. My mechanic said it's the front shock absorbers that need to be changed only. I ve also physically acertained that my front shocks are gone. My question is that, is there any other thing I need to do aside the shocks? Its so worse that I don't even drive it again. I'm thinking there could be other things to be done aside just shocks but my mechanic said it's only shock I need to change.......can failure of front shock absorbers cause all this many problems? |

Inspect all suspension parts. Vibration while braking is as a result of uneven Brake disc and worn out brake pads 1 Like |

Before your mechanic replaces your shocks,u can request he checks your brake discs.caliper ,ball joints and thyroids to determine their integrity .replace if need arise and u are good to go. |

stanfford:Did the mechanic bring out the shock absorber to test its integrity or it was tested by pressing the credit and observing the bounce? A proper suspension diagnosis is necessary to be sure. |

He only pressed it and I confirm myself too dat my shocks are down. I'm only looking at other things I could check timifakay: |

stanfford: What car is this and where was the replacement part gotten from |

stanfford:Best way to check suspension parts is to take the units out to inspect and test individually. |

stanfford: thats a sign of worn out brake disc a worn out shock absorber would make your more jump when you driving in an uneven road |
