Shocks and Struts

Have you noticed that your vehicle has recently become more difficult to handle? If you’re missing the days when your commute was smooth and comfortable, it may be time to replace components of your suspension system.

SIGNS TO INSPECT SHOCKS OR STRUTS

It is pretty easy to tell if your shocks or struts need to be replaced. Here are some of the most common signs to watch for:

• Noticeable swaying or bouncing while driving (rough ride)

• Leaning or “pulling” while changing lanes or turning

• Unusual sound originating from the suspension system

• Dipping forward of the front end when braking

• Original parts that have not been replaced for 50,000 miles

• Visually inspecting for oil leaks which indicate they have lost their charge.

If your vehicle is showing these warning signs, it’s best to have your vehicle inspected right away. There’s no reason to wait to replace the components of your suspension system. Because of new and improved technologies, in many cases, the aftermarket strut or shock is better engineered than the original factory installed parts.
