The main road through Peterlee is the A19, which travels north towards Newcastle and 17 miles south to Stockton-on-Tees. The nearest motorway is the A1(M), about thirty minutes away. The town has a couple of electric car charging stations, one on Easington Way and the other on Yoden Way (also the location of the bus station). Arriva and Go North East operate several bus routes in Peterlee, making it easy to travel while your car is out of action.
Shock absorbers dampen the rebound of the suspension when you drive over speed bumps and rough ground, keeping your wheels in contact with the road. Unfortunately, they don't last forever; the average car shock absorber lifespan is around five years, though this will be higher if you mainly drive on smooth roads.
Common signs you need a shock absorber repair are uneven tyre wear, excessive bouncing and swerving, a vibrating steering wheel and longer stopping distances. Pothole damage often affects a car's shock absorbers, which become worn out due to high-end impact, so if you frequently drive on damaged roads, keep an eye out for the above symptoms and any oil leakage from the shocks.
Remember, you should always replace shocks in pairs, like brake pads.
