What are Shocks and Struts?
Shocks (shock absorbers) and struts are key components of your vehicle’s suspension system:
- Shock Absorbers: These help control the impact and rebounding movement of your vehicle’s springs and suspension. They ensure that your tires remain in contact with the road surface at all times.
- Struts: These are a structural part of the suspension system and are mounted to the chassis of the vehicle. They play a crucial role in supporting the vehicle’s weight, maintaining alignment, and providing a mounting point for the coil springs.
Both components work together to provide a smooth, controlled ride and to keep your tires firmly planted on the road.
Signs You Need Shocks or Struts Repair
Watch for these indicators that your vehicle may need shocks or struts service:
- Excessive bouncing: Your car continues to bounce after hitting a bump or dip in the road.
- Nose diving: The front of your vehicle dips noticeably when braking.
- Swerving during turns: You feel your vehicle sway or lean excessively during cornering.
- Uneven tire wear: Your tires show signs of cupping or uneven wear patterns.
- Fluid leaks: You notice oily fluid on the exterior of shocks or struts.
- Rough ride: You experience a consistently bumpy or rough ride, even on smooth roads.
- Steering problems: You notice steering wheel vibrations or looseness, especially at low speeds.
- Visual damage: You can see dents or other damage to your shocks or struts.
Shock and Strut Repair FAQs
How often should shocks and struts be replaced?
Typically, shocks and struts should be inspected every 50,000 miles and may need replacement between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. However, this can vary based on driving conditions and vehicle use.
Can I replace just one shock or strut?
While it’s possible, we recommend replacing shocks and struts in pairs (front or rear) to ensure even handling and wear.
How long does it take to replace shocks and struts?
The time can vary depending on the vehicle, but typically it takes 2-4 hours for a pair of shocks or struts.
Do I need an alignment after replacing shocks or struts?
In most cases, yes. Replacing these components can affect your vehicle’s suspension geometry, so an alignment is usually recommended to ensure proper tire wear and handling.
Do you offer a warranty on shocks and struts replacement?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive 2 year or 24k mile warranty on both parts and labor for our shocks and struts replacements. Ask our service advisors for details.
