Quick facts on shocks:

How often should shocks be inspected?
Shocks should be inspected annually on your motorcoach.

What are the signs of worn shocks?
Most frequently, the signs of shocks that may be worn include oil that is visibly leaking, or perhaps a bouncy or uneasy ride over rough roads. When you notice those things, it’s a good idea to schedule an appointment with a certified technician to inspect your shocks.

How often do you need to replace the shocks on a motor coach?
Shocks only need to be replaced if they show signs of failure. Driving on rough roads can definitely have an impact on how long they last, but there’s no rule of thumb on how long they last. It’s best to have regular maintenance and check-ups for your motorcoach to evaluate.

Why should shocks be replaced in pairs?
It’s always a good idea to replace your shocks in pairs, so that both sides of the axle are getting the same response from the shock.

Why are high-quality shocks important?
Having good shocks are very important for the quality of the ride from the coach. Shocks ultimately control the oscillation of the suspension over road. The worse the road you find yourself on, the more you need good shocks.
