Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if the shock absorbers on my car need to be replaced?

Typical signs include a softer response when turning into curves, a noticeably longer braking distance, or a spongy ride on uneven roads. Visible oil stains on the shock absorber or uneven tire wear are also indications that it’s time for a replacement. A quick check at the repair shop will provide clarity.

Do I always have to replace shock absorbers by axle?

Yes, replacing the shock absorbers on both axles is generally recommended. This ensures that both sides provide the same level of damping and that your car sits evenly on the road. That’s why the ap shock absorber is also available as a convenient set for the front and rear axles.

Can I combine the ap shock absorber with lowering springs?

This product is not suitable for lowering the vehicle. In this case, we recommend combining the springs with our ap sport shock absorbers. If you’re purchasing an ap shock absorber as a replacement for the stock unit, we recommend using your stock springs or springs that do not lower the vehicle.

Is the ap shock absorber also available for pickup trucks and larger vehicles?

If you drive a small- to mid-size car, you've come to the right place. However, if you're looking for shock absorbers for larger vehicles (e.g., pickups), we have a separate solution that also offers a leveling function on the front axle and is specifically designed for heavy-duty vehicles.
