At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in high-quality repair and maintenance services for luxury vehicles like the Range Rover Velar. Recently, we completed a shock absorber replacement for a client in Dubai. During the inspection, we identified several issues with the vehicle’s suspension system that were affecting its performance and ride comfort. Below are the key issues found and the solutions we provided to restore the vehicle’s handling and stability.
Shock Absorber Issues Found & Solutions
- Worn-Out Shock Absorbers
Problem: The shock absorbers were significantly worn out, leading to poor ride quality, reduced handling, and increased body roll, especially during cornering or over rough terrain.
Solution: We replaced the worn shock absorbers with high-quality OEM replacements, restoring the vehicle’s ride comfort and improving overall handling, ensuring a smoother driving experience. - Leaking Shock Absorbers
Problem: The shock absorbers were leaking hydraulic fluid, which caused a decrease in damping performance, resulting in a bouncy and unstable ride.
Solution: We replaced the leaking shock absorbers with new, fully functional ones to restore proper damping performance and prevent further damage to the suspension system. - Damaged Suspension Bushings
Problem: The suspension bushings around the shock absorbers were worn and cracked, contributing to noise and vibrations during driving, as well as affecting overall suspension performance.
Solution: We replaced the damaged suspension bushings with durable, high-quality bushings to restore smooth suspension movement, eliminate noise, and improve handling. - Misaligned Suspension Components
Problem: The suspension components surrounding the shock absorbers were misaligned, which led to uneven weight distribution and compromised the vehicle’s stability and handling.
Solution: We realigned the suspension components to ensure proper weight distribution, enhancing the vehicle’s stability and ensuring optimal shock absorber performance. - Inadequate Shock Absorber Mounting
Problem: The shock absorbers were not securely mounted, which led to excessive movement and noise. This could have caused further damage to the suspension system.
Solution: We securely mounted the new shock absorbers, ensuring that all components were tightly fixed and operating as intended, eliminating unnecessary noise and ensuring the suspension’s longevity.
