Q: What are shocks and struts?


A: Shocks and struts are important parts of your suspension system. These key parts are used in controlling your springs. While these look very similar to each other, they serve different purposes. A strut supports the weight of your car and helps you adapt to various road elements, while a shock is a piston-shaped tube that allows your wheels to absorb bumps and recover.

Q: How do I know if my suspension system has gone bad?


A: When your car is in need of suspension work, you can feel it. Often your car will have a sway/lean when you change lanes, scale ramps, or turn corners. Likewise, you can feel excessive bumping when you traverse bumps, dips, and stop.

Q: When should I replace my shocks and struts?


A: Each car is different and the mileage may once again vary. However, the best timeframe to consider replacing these is around the 50,000-mile mark. By this point, your car has accumulated enough wear to swap out these parts.
