Correct answer

  • CSí, porque el vehículo puede experimentar una inclinación excesiva al tomar las curvas.Yes, because the vehicle may lean too much when taking bends.
Explanation

Shock absorbers in poor condition no longer control the body's movements: the vehicle leans too much on bends and control can be lost. Braking also gets worse because the wheels bounce on the road surface.
