Shocks & Struts

Shocks/struts do wear out over time but they do not have a set replacement time like a spark plug or air filter. A vehicle's shocks/struts deteriorate gradually over time, the decline in ride control often goes unnoticed. Exactly when a shock/strut needs to be replaced is difficult to say, here are as few tips which will help determine if you should have your shocks/struts inspected.

• Vehicle dips forward excessively when brakes applied.
• Vehicle bounces excessively when driving over a bump.
• Vehicle bottoms out when hauling extra weight or carrying extra passengers.
• Vehicle sways excessively when cornering or in high wind conditions.
• Shocks/struts appear to be leaking fluid
• Shocks/struts appear damaged
