Question 7996
If the shock absorbers are in poor condition, when braking...
- the front of the vehicle lifts excessively.
- the rear of the vehicle lifts excessively.
- the rear of the vehicle tilts excessively.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the rear of the vehicle lifts excessively.
When you brake, the car's weight shifts forward. With shock absorbers that have lost their effectiveness, the front end dips too far and the rear rises too much. If you notice this when braking hard, have the shock absorbers checked.
