Shock resistance

What is shock resistance?

Shock resistance or vibration resistance is a feature of the LED work lights at TRALERT®, but what exactly does it mean? This feature means that the light is resistant to vibrations that can be caused by your vehicle. Unlike LED lights, halogen lights cannot withstand this. This is because LED lighting is put together more solidly than halogen lighting. Halogen lighting will be able to malfunction in case of severe vibrations on your vehicle. All parts collide and rub against each other due to the vibrations, which can cause them to break down.

Most common reasons why your vehicle vibrates

Tyres and rims

The most common reason why your vehicle vibrates lies with the tyres and rims. The tyres may be angled, the tyres may not be round, the wheel nuts may not be tightened properly, the wheel bearings may be loose or the wheels may not be properly balanced.

The driveline

For example, if part of the suspension becomes bent, this can cause considerable vibration. The suspension can become bent due to a collision. After damage, it is wise to have the drive shaft checked. This is because when it is bent, it can cause serious vibrations. A worn homokinetic joint can also cause vibrations in the drive train.

Brakes

If you experience vibrations while braking, it could be due to a number of different factors. Check the brake discs, suspension, steering ball joints, knuckle pins, suspension rubbers and support arm rubbers.

Engine problems

Sometimes a vibration can be caused by engine problems. Here, check the spark plugs, spark plug cables, engine support and compression.

Clutch problems

If you experience vibrations while driving off, there is a good chance it is due to the clutch. Here, check the clutch disc, pressure plate and flywheel.
