If shocks and struts weren’t installed on your car, you’d feel every single bump as you drive on any uneven or rough surface, and your vehicle would dip and sway when accelerating and braking. If your car’s ride is feeling more bumpy and uncomfortable than usual, or your vehicle has been swerving more than normal, new shocks and struts might be in order.
Shocks and struts do more than make a rough road a smooth one. As part of your car’s suspension system, shocks and struts not only decrease the impact of bumps in the road but also allow drivers to quickly adjust to changing traffic patterns and assist the braking system. Many accidents are caused by failures in the shocks and struts. These can be avoided with regular inspections to your support parts.
Replacing your shocks and struts can prevent damage to your vehicle. They will also increase your ability to respond quickly to avoid accidents. Shocks and struts are just one of the complementary mechanical systems to your braking and steering systems and aren’t to be taken for granted. They should be replaced approximately every 60,000 to 70,000 miles.
Shocks and struts were designed with more than just comfort in mind. The safety of your vehicle is greatly dependent on them—they directly affect your ability to maneuver and stop.
