A shock absorber controls the up-and-down motion of the springs and suspension. Its internal valving resists that movement, which helps keep the tires in contact with the road. Signs that a front shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, fluid seeping from the shock body, and cupped or uneven tire wear. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacing both front shocks together is commonly recommended for even, balanced handling.
