Gabriel (Ride Control, LLC) announces its national “SHOCK MADNESS” Spring sales event offering consumers a mail-in rebate for the price of one product (worth up to $125) when they purchase four qualifying Gabriel  branded ride control products. The sales event runs from March 1 to April 30, 2014. 

With “SHOCK MADNESS,” consumers are eligible for a mail in rebate when they purchase a combination of any four qualifying ReadyMount, Ultra, MaxControl or StrutMount products between March 1 and April 30, 2014. 

“Everyday thousands of motorists ride on shocks and struts that have too much wear to do their job effectively. Gabriel’s ‘SHOCK MADNESS’ makes it easier for consumers to improve their ride and replace all four of their worn shocks and/or struts at once for the price of three new products,” said Michael Lipski, vice president of sales and marketing, Ride Control, LLC.”  

The quality of a vehicle’s ride control affects more than just the ride of the car. In emergency maneuvers, worn shocks can lengthen braking distances, and affect handling and stability; compromising the safety of the vehicle and its passengers. Shocks and struts also have a direct relationship on the longevity of tires, steering and suspension components.

Gabriel has created “SHOCK MADNESS” sales event kits for participating shops that include a poster and rebate pad. Call 1-800-251-5932 to receive a kit.

Details of the sales event, qualifying products, rules and rebate forms are available at www.Gabriel.com.

Curing Shock, Strut and Suspension Noise

As vehicles age, eliminating noise is Job 1. But ‘noise’ may mean different things to you and your customers.

Shocks, struts and springs are the connection between sprung and un-sprung parts of the vehicle. The design is simple, with just a piston traveling in a cylinder full of oil to control the travel of the suspension and movement of the body during weight transfer. If the engineer gets it right, the valves in the piston and base of the shock or strut will be able to keep the tires in contact with the road and the body level under a wide variety of conditions. Unfortunately, the suspension can be damaged, and the shocks and struts will degrade. This can lead to handling issues and noise problems.

Toe Angles and Ride Height

High-End Ride Control Rehab

Electronically adjustable shocks and struts use conventional mono-tube and twin-tube oil-filled dampeners.

Toe Angles and Tie Rods

It is critical to remember that toe is not always zero or straight ahead.
