If you want to book a shock absorber repair in Seaham, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
The main road in Seaham is the A19, which travels north to Seaton Burn and south to Doncaster. It is also served by the A1018, providing a route into South Shields, and the A182, travelling to Washington via Houghton-le-Spring. Since Seaham is just six miles south of Sunderland, you could include garages from both areas in your search for affordable car repairs. Seaham railway station is on the Durham Coast Line, and there is a bus interchange on South Terrace.
Since Seaham is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Seaham.
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.
