Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my shocks or struts need to be replaced?
Common signs of strut or shock replacement include excessive bouncing after hitting bumps, a rough ride, nose-diving when braking, swaying during turns, uneven tire wear, fluid leaks from the shocks or struts, or unusual suspension noises. A professional inspection can determine whether replacement is needed.
What’s the difference between shocks and struts?
While both shocks and struts help control your vehicle’s suspension and improve ride quality, shock absorbers reduce bouncing and vibration, while struts are a structural part of the suspension that also support vehicle weight and affect steering and alignment.
How long do shocks and struts typically last?
Most shocks and struts last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle type. Regular inspections during routine maintenance can help identify wear before it affects safety.
Can I replace just one shock or strut?
It’s generally recommended to replace shocks and struts in pairs (both front or both rear) to maintain balanced handling, braking, and ride comfort. Replacing only one side can create uneven suspension performance.
What happens if I continue driving with worn shocks or struts?
Driving with worn suspension components can reduce braking performance, increase tire wear, decrease vehicle stability, and make it harder to control your vehicle during emergency maneuvers or poor weather conditions.
