Shocks & Struts FAQ
How do I know if my shocks or struts are bad?
Common signs include a bouncy or rough ride, the nose dipping sharply when you brake, excessive body roll in corners, uneven or cupped tire wear, fluid leaking from the shock body, and a rattling or clunking noise over bumps. If your vehicle feels less controlled than it used to, get the shocks and struts inspected.
What is the difference between shocks and struts?
Shocks (shock absorbers) dampen suspension movement but are not structural components. Struts combine a shock absorber with a structural element of the suspension — they are load-bearing and affect steering geometry. Many vehicles use struts in the front and shocks in the rear, though it varies by make and model.
Do I need an alignment after replacing shocks or struts?
After strut replacement, a wheel alignment is always recommended because struts are part of the steering geometry. After shock replacement only, alignment may not be required — but we will advise you based on your specific vehicle.
How long do shocks and struts last?
Most shocks and struts last 50,000–100,000 miles depending on driving conditions, road quality, and vehicle weight. Utah roads and off-highway driving can accelerate wear. We inspect them at every service visit and recommend replacement when performance has degraded.
