Shocks & Struts Explained
Shocks and struts are two of the most important parts of your car’s suspension system. They help to absorb bumps and vibrations, which makes for a smoother ride for your car. Shocks also help to keep your car’s tires in contact with the road, which improves handling and safety.
Shocks and struts work in a similar way. They both absorb bumps and vibrations, but they do it in different ways. Shocks use hydraulic fluid to absorb the energy of the bumps, while struts use gas. This difference in design affects how they perform. Shocks are more effective at absorbing large bumps, while struts are better at absorbing small bumps.
Is Your Ride a Bit Bumpy?
There are a few symptoms that can indicate that your shocks and struts need to be replaced. These include:
- A bumpy ride
- Increased body roll
- Increased tire wear
- Poor handling
- Vibrations in the steering wheel
Shocks and struts should be replaced every 50,000 to 75,000 miles. However, if you drive on rough roads or tow heavy loads, you may need to replace them sooner. There are a few things you can do to maintain shocks and struts. These include:
- Check the shocks and struts for leaks.
- Clean the shocks and struts regularly.
- Avoid driving over potholes and other rough surfaces.
- Don’t tow heavy loads.
