Gurus in the house, I use a Toyota Camry 04, I recently discovered that my car swerves and nose dives when I'm braking, I also discover excessive vibration on steering when braking. My mechanic said it's the front shock absorbers that need to be changed only. I ve also physically acertained that my front shocks are gone. My question is that, is there any other thing I need to do aside the shocks? Its so worse that I don't even drive it again. I'm thinking there could be other things to be done aside just shocks but my mechanic said it's only shock I need to change.......can failure of front shock absorbers cause all this many problems?

Inspect all suspension parts. Vibration while braking is as a result of uneven Brake disc and worn out brake pads

Thanks boss

Before your mechanic replaces your shocks,u can request he checks your brake discs.caliper ,ball joints and thyroids to determine their integrity .replace if need arise and u are good to go.

Did the mechanic bring out the shock absorber to test its integrity or it was tested by pressing the credit and observing the bounce?
A proper suspension diagnosis is necessary to be sure.

He only pressed it and I confirm myself too dat my shocks are down. I'm only looking at other things I could check

What car is this and where was the replacement part gotten from

Best way to check suspension parts is to take the units out to inspect and test individually.

thats a sign of worn out brake disc

a worn out shock absorber would make your more jump when you driving in an uneven road

Its a Toyota car, the part was gotten from normal store where such parts are sold, his mechanic confirmed it to be a good one
