At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in keeping your luxury vehicle performing at its best. Recently, we completed a shock absorber replacement for a Range Rover HST in Dubai. During our inspection, we identified several issues that were affecting the vehicle’s ride quality and suspension performance. Here are the problems we found and the solutions we provided:
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Worn Shock Absorbers: The shock absorbers were significantly worn out, causing poor damping performance. This resulted in a bouncy and uncomfortable ride, especially on uneven surfaces.
Solution:
We replaced the worn shock absorbers with high-quality OEM-grade replacements, restoring proper damping and ensuring a smoother, more comfortable ride. - Leaking Shock Absorbers: The shock absorbers were leaking fluid, which greatly diminished their effectiveness in absorbing impacts and maintaining vehicle stability.
Solution:
We installed new, leak-free shock absorbers, ensuring they could effectively manage road impacts and improve vehicle control and comfort. - Uneven Ride Height: The old shock absorbers were causing uneven ride height, leading to an imbalanced stance and affecting vehicle handling, especially during cornering.
Solution:
After replacing the shock absorbers, we carefully calibrated the suspension system to restore a consistent and level ride height, improving both aesthetics and handling. - Excessive Body Roll: Due to the damaged shock absorbers, the vehicle exhibited excessive body roll during turns, making the drive less stable and reducing overall safety.
Solution:
With the new shock absorbers in place, we improved the vehicle’s stability during turns and enhanced its handling performance, making the driving experience safer and more enjoyable. - Increased Tire Wear: The old, worn shock absorbers were contributing to uneven tire wear, as they failed to properly absorb shocks and kept the tires in constant contact with the road in an uncontrolled manner.
Solution:
With the replacement shock absorbers, the suspension system now works efficiently to absorb road impacts, reducing unnecessary strain on the tires and promoting even tire wear for longer lifespan.
