1397398 Scania Shock Absorber

These basically control how your springs settle after going over a bump. Your springs are what absorb the initial impact, but they’ll just keep bouncing if left to their own devices. The shock absorber dampens that bounce, it turns that energy into heat. It controls the movement, keeps the tire in contact with the road, and prevents the body from rocking and rolling excessively. It’s a key part of your suspension system. Think of it like this – your springs are the muscles, and the shocks are the control. It’s not just about comfort, though. They help with steering and braking too, because a stable chassis is essential for those things to work properly. It supports the weight of the vehicle, and keeps everything from feeling loose or unstable. If your shocks are worn out, you’ll notice if you hit a bump – the car will keep bouncing for much longer than it should. That extra movement reduces your tire contact with the road, which impacts steering and braking. It also puts stress on other parts, like ball joints and bushings. Plus, it makes for a much less comfortable ride. Ignoring bad shocks can really accelerate wear and tear on the rest of your suspension. A lot of people find them at Fixparts Online, but you can get them just about anywhere. It's a relatively straightforward repair, but definitely something you want to address when they start failing. Convenience at its best: Shock Absorber (MPN 1397398) includes a 12-month warranty!
