Holden, an iconic Australian automotive manufacturer, has produced a wide range of vehicles catering to various market segments throughout its storied history. Beginning operations in 1948 with the launch of the Holden 48-215, also affectionately known as the FX, Holden rapidly established itself as a cornerstone of the Australian automotive landscape.

Over the decades, Holden's model range expanded significantly, embracing everything from compact cars, like the Barina, to family saloons such as the Commodore—a nameplate that became synonymous with the Australian family car. Additionally, Holden ventured into the pick-up truck and SUV markets with models like the Ute and the Captiva, respectively. The company also offered high-performance vehicles through its HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) division, further broadening its appeal. Despite ceasing manufacturing in Australia in 2017, the range of Holden models produced on Australian shores reflects the brand's deep connection to the nation's cultural and automotive heritage.

Do you feel every bump in the road? Does your car struggle to grip the road properly? Your shock absorbers be worn! Don’t take the risk—bring your vehicle to Eastside Automotive in Somerton Park for an expert assessment.

Shock absorbers are one of the most misunderstood yet critical components of your vehicle. Many drivers don’t realise their primary job is to keep your tyres in firm contact with the road, ensuring both safety and performance.

Shock absorbers, along with struts, are vital parts of your car’s suspension system. They directly affect your vehicle's steering, stability, handling, braking and ride comfort. Replacing worn or faulty shocks and struts, as well as inspecting the overall suspension system, helps maintain control, safety, and a smoother driving experience.  

A lesser-known fact is that shock absorbers also play a key role in reducing wear on other vehicle components, such as tyres, by minimising the vibration and stress that uneven roads place on the car.

If you notice concerning signs of shock absorber wear, don’t wait. Visit the team at Eastside Automotive in Somerton Park. Our qualified technicians can conduct a road test and provide professional advice. Below are some of the warning signs to watch for:  

Trouble stopping  Worn shock absorbers can increase your stopping distance by up to 20%, which could be life-threatening. Addressing this issue immediately is crucial.  

Nose-diving and swerving  Does the front of your car dip down when braking, or does the vehicle swerve when you slow down? These are classic signs of shock absorber problems.  

Steering wheel vibrations   If your steering wheel vibrates excessively, even on relatively smooth roads, it could point to faulty shock absorbers.

Drifting in side winds  If your car veers or drifts in mild side winds, it’s a strong indicator that your shock absorbers may not be functioning correctly. 

Excessive bouncing and rolling  Is your car bouncing excessively over bumps, railway tracks, or uneven surfaces? Or does it feel unsteady around corners? It might be time for a suspension check-up at Eastside Automotive.  

Uneven tyre wear   Uneven or patchy tyre wear, especially bald spots, is often a sign of worn shock absorbers. This issue can reduce your tyres’ lifespan and compromise road safety.  

At Eastside Automotive, we’re proud members of the Monroe Safety Specialist Program. This means our team is fully trained and committed to providing you with the right shock absorber solution tailored to your vehicle, driving habits, and individual needs. You can trust that any product we recommend will be fitted correctly and deliver optimal performance.  

Book an inspection with Eastside Automotive in Somerton Park today, and let us help you keep your car safe, comfortable, and road-ready.

Ensure safety and comfort on the road. Visit Eastside Automotive in Somerton Park for expert shock absorber inspections, repairs, and tailored solutions. Book your assessment today!
