What Shocks & Struts Do
Shocks and struts help manage your vehicle’s stability by absorbing road impacts and keeping the tires firmly planted on the pavement. When these components wear out, handling becomes less predictable and your vehicle may take longer to stop.
Healthy shocks and struts:
- Improve steering control
- Enhance braking performance
- Reduce body roll during turns
- Minimize bouncing and vibration
- Extend tire life by reducing uneven wear
- Improve overall ride comfort
Over time, suspension components wear out due to road conditions, mileage, temperature changes, and everyday driving stress. Our technicians provide detailed inspections to determine whether replacement is necessary.
Signs You Need Shock or Strut Replacement
Even if your vehicle still feels drivable, worn shocks and struts can significantly impact safety and stability.
- Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps
- “Nose dive” when braking
- Leaking hydraulic fluid near shock or strut housings
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Loose or unstable steering feel
- Clunking or knocking noises over bumps
- Vehicle leaning or swaying around corners
- Longer stopping distances
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an inspection to prevent further suspension or tire damage.
