Ride quality, tyre wear and stability — when to replace shocks in pairs on commercial fleet vehicles.
What you will gain from this guide
- Replace shocks in axle pairs for balanced damping
- Oil leaks on shocks mean replace not repair
- Tyre cupping may indicate dead shocks
Deferred shock replacement increases braking distance and tyre costs. Fleet policies replacing shocks at measurable wear thresholds improve safety and total cost.
Policy triggers
- Visible oil leak on shock body
- Excessive bounce after bump test
- Tyre wear pattern suggests bouncing axle
Procurement
- Match shock rating to gross vehicle weight
- Standardise part numbers per fleet variant
- Order from suspension category with GST invoice
