Correct answer
the rear of the vehicle rises excessively.
If the suspension is in poor condition, when braking, the rear of the vehicle rises excessively. This happens because worn shock absorbers cannot properly control the movement of the suspension. When the brake is applied, the vehicle's weight shifts towards the front, and faulty shock absorbers cannot absorb this movement, causing the rear of the vehicle to rise more than intended. This can negatively affect the vehicle's stability and control during braking, which is dangerous for road safety. Therefore, keeping the shock absorbers in good condition is essential for safe and efficient braking.
