Correct answer

  • CBajará excesivamente la parte delantera del vehículo.The front of the vehicle will dip too much.

When braking, the front of the vehicle always dips as the shock absorbers compress. If they are in poor condition, this compression will be excessive, making the front dip more than normal.
