At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in providing top-tier repair and maintenance services for luxury vehicles like the Range Rover Sport. Recently, we completed a shock absorber replacement for a client in Dubai. During the inspection, we discovered several issues that were affecting the vehicle’s suspension performance. Below, we highlight the issues found and the solutions we implemented to restore optimal suspension function.
Shock Absorber Issues Found & Solutions
- Worn-out Shock Absorbers
Problem: The shock absorbers were heavily worn, resulting in a rough ride, excessive body roll, and reduced stability while driving.
Solution: We replaced the worn shock absorbers with high-quality OEM-grade parts to restore proper damping, improving ride comfort, handling, and overall vehicle stability. - Leaking Shock Absorbers
Problem: The shock absorbers were leaking hydraulic fluid, which significantly reduced their ability to absorb shocks and maintain vehicle control.
Solution: We replaced the leaking shock absorbers with new ones, ensuring that the suspension system operates efficiently, providing a smoother and more controlled driving experience. - Damaged Suspension Bushings
Problem: The suspension bushings were worn and damaged, causing additional stress on the shock absorbers and affecting the suspension’s ability to absorb bumps and impacts.
Solution: We replaced the damaged bushings with durable, high-performance parts, which helped to restore proper suspension geometry and prevent unnecessary wear on the new shock absorbers. - Misaligned Suspension Components
Problem: The suspension components were misaligned, which affected the overall effectiveness of the shock absorbers and caused uneven tire wear.
Solution: We realigned the suspension system to ensure proper geometry, which helped maximize the performance of the new shock absorbers and improved the vehicle’s handling and ride quality. - Broken Coil Springs
Problem: The coil springs, which work in tandem with the shock absorbers, were found to be damaged, leading to a sagging vehicle and poor suspension performance.
Solution: We replaced the broken coil springs with high-quality replacements, restoring the vehicle’s ride height and improving load distribution and overall suspension performance.
