That's right, shock absorber. Living in the land of tope's, serious speed bumps, my 2004 Jetta was long overdue for some new ones. I went to the same place that installed the old ones, maybe ten years ago. It was just past this fine flying VW bug on the Pan-American Highway, a handy landmark.
I had to take a couple of moto-taxis back to the house to get more money and then returned, where I just sat patiently listening to an audiobook for the couple of hours it took them to complete the work.
I have to say the new shocks, amortiguadores, made quite a difference in handling and feeling the bumps and topes. It was a job well done and long overdue. A point of interest: no two topes are the same. They can be easy to get over and then there are the ones that hit the bottom of your car, not to mention the invisible ones. After a while, one can sense where those are. You don't want to take them at 40 kph. So when's the last time you changed your shocks?
