Shocks and Struts

Your car suspension is equipped with shock and/or strut absorbers to help soften your car ride. The shock & strut absorbers are a major components of the vehicles suspension. Its basic function is to control the spring. Which would otherwise bounce your vehicle like a pogo stick after bumps. Neither type is immune to the wear and tear of the road.

The short answer? Shocks & Struts are definitely “wear” items, and should be replaced per your manufacturer’s recommendations. Experts recommend replacing shocks every 50,000 miles, but a great deal depends on how you treat your vehicle’s suspension.

Are you logging all those miles on the placid interstate, or are you off-roading on winding dirt roads through the untamed wild? Well, before that point, unusual suspension noises or excessive bounce or sway may indicate it’s time to replace those shocks or struts all around.
