- Bounce Test: Press down on the bumper and let go. If the car bounces more than once, the shock absorbers may be worn.
- Visual Inspection: Look for oil leaks, cracks, or dents on the shock absorbers.
- Check for Noise: Listen for unusual sounds like clunking or rattling when driving over bumps.
- Check Tire Wear: Uneven tire wear could indicate faulty shock absorbers.
- Test Handling: Poor handling, excessive swaying, or instability during turns or stops could signal worn-out shocks.
