What may be the effect of worn shock absorbers on the front wheels?
aIncreased tyre grip.
bDecreased tyre grip and steerability of the vehicle.
cIncreased braking effectiveness.
Why?
Worn shock absorbers control suspension movement less effectively, so the wheels maintain poorer contact with an uneven road. The picture shows oil on the shock absorber body, indicating a possible leak. This reduces grip and steering control, while braking performance may worsen rather than improve.
