Shocks and struts are an important part of your vehicle's suspension system. They help to absorb the bumps and vibrations from the road, providing a smoother ride for you and your passengers. Without shocks and struts, your vehicle would be much less comfortable and could even be unsafe to drive.
At Sanders Garage of Jacksonville, Inc., we replace shocks and struts for drivers in Piney Green, NC , Havelock, NC , New Bern, NC, and surrounding areas.
Although the two may seem interchangeable, they actually serve different functions. Shock absorbers are responsible for reducing bounce while driving, which is why they are a critical component of your vehicle's suspension system. Struts, on the other hand, not only reduce bounce, but also play several other significant roles. With a coil spring wrapped around them, struts are responsible for holding up your vehicle and positioning the wheels. That's why we recommend getting a wheel alignment each time you have your vehicle's struts replaced.
Over time, shocks and struts can wear out and need to be replaced. Signs that your shocks and struts may need to be replaced include a bouncy ride, uneven tire wear, or a vehicle that pulls to one side when driving. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your shocks and struts checked by a professional.
One way to tell it's time for new shocks or struts is to place your hand on a corner of your vehicle and press your vehicle down. A good shock or strut will return the vehicle to the center and stop. A worn shock or strut will continue moving before stopping.
