Shock and strut service is when the suspension system of your car is evaluated. During this evaluation, a mechanic/technician may determine your shocks and or struts may need to be replaced. What are shocks? Shocks are tube-filled pistons that contain gas, liquid, or sometimes both. Shocks are needed to help the tires absorb objects you may run over, including speed bumps and other similar items without damaging your car or tires. What are struts? Struts are a part of your car’s suspension that supports the weight of your car.
Shocks and struts are needed to keep your car’s performance smooth. Does your car seem to favor going in a particular direction? Do you feel every pebble or crack in the road? Are your tires wearing quickly and often? These mishaps are indications your shocks and struts need to be replaced. Other signs your shocks and struts need to be replaced include fluid leakage and feeling unusual rocking and rolling while you’re turning the car.
Waiting to get your shocks and struts repaired or improperly maintaining them makes your car unsafe to drive. Your suspension system supports all the weight of your vehicle, and if maintained improperly, your ability to control your car is greatly affected. You are most likely to lose control of your car while turning or stopping. One of the best things you can do is get to know your car by paying attention to the sounds it makes and observing how it handles while you’re driving.
