Road safety is more than just following rules—it’s about the essential components of your vehicle that keep danger at bay. Monroe, with their expertise in vehicle dynamics, highlights in their critical research, “Stop Sooner, Drive Safer,” how superior shock absorbers are not just parts—they’re protectors. Their study reveals that well-maintained shock absorbers can drastically reduce stopping distance, a lifeline during those heart-stopping moments when every inch counts, read more here.
Monroe’s meticulous testing unveils a stark reality: the invisible wear on shock absorbers can quietly jeopardise safety on our roads. Their studies reveal that worn shocks can dangerously extend a vehicle’s stopping distance by up to 7.6 meters on a dry road—the startling length of more than one car. Imagine that—an extra car length determining the difference between a sigh of relief and a collision.
Envision a moment that demands a split-second swerve: here, the stability offered by shock absorbers isn’t just a perk—it’s a lifeline. Worn-out shocks can allow the roll angle of your vehicle to increase by up to 3.9 degrees. To put it in perspective, during tests at a speed of 70 kph, vehicles with compromised shocks reached troubling roll angles of 11.2 degrees per second. Skirt too close to the critical threshold of 12 to 14 degrees per second, and you’re facing the harrowing prospect of your vehicle losing its composure, compromising the safety within.
