Shocks & Struts Service
The shocks and struts under the car do not usually get the attention or maintenance as much as other parts of the vehicle do. Because of this, they are often overlooked whenever car owners do a regular inspection; however, these shocks and struts maintain the car’s stability control and need regular maintenance.
The shocks and struts are part of the suspension system which holds an important part in keeping the car running smoothly. The two parts of the system dampen the oscillation of the spring and aid in maintaining ride control. Your shocks and struts are responsible for maintaining an even, steady ride. If your vehicle requires shocks and struts repair, it simply will not be able to stop on a dime.
It is important to know that not all vehicles will have shocks and struts. Some vehicles will have shocks while others will only have struts.
If the car’s struts or shocks begins to have problems, the other car parts will also affected. Because each part of the car is interconnected, if one part does not function properly, the others will also not perform as expected. If your car’s suspension gets damaged, the tires will show a lot of wear and tear. You can also expect for there to be issues with the CV joints, steering linkage, springs, and the ball joints. The longer the struts and shocks go without upkeep, the more potential damage that can be done overall to your vehicle. This extra damage can end up costing you a lot more money than the original bill.
