One of the main factors that significantly affect the oscillation of the car body is the characteristics of the shock absorber. Due to the heavy loads perceived by this suspension element, it is widely believed that shock absorbers belong to the consumables of the car, and their repair is not rationalized. However, this is not the case.
The cost of a new shock absorber for cars above the middle class or premium segment sometimes exceeds $ 1000. At the same time, the cost of restoring the shock absorber will be much less than the price of a new one. Especially worth noting the increase in the number of shock absorbers with variable stiffness. The failure of the electric valve in such a shock absorber entails the replacement of two very expensive shock absorbers. And repair electronically controlled shock absorbers is not harder than ordinary, provided the right special tools are available. At the same time, the repair price will be significantly less than the cost of two new shock absorbers. These examples lead to the conclusion about the feasibility and good profitability of this type of repair.
If you decide to engage in this direction of repair, it involves the presence of a specialized area of such equipment, such as a nozzle for filling the gas shock absorber, a refueling system, and tools for removing shock absorbers and pillars, and some others. Special repair tools for the repair of shock absorbers are presented in this section of the online store.
In addition, in the section of equipment section, you can see the capabilities of equipment for the diagnosis of shock absorbers, including electronically controlled shock absorbers.
If your car service is serious about the maintenance of suspension elements, we recommend having a full set of tools for the disassembly of shock absorbers, as well as test benches for their inspection and repair.
