Shocks and struts are your vehicle’s main stability system. Worn-out shocks/struts don’t just make for an uncomfortable ride, but can also cause uneven and premature tire wear, longer stopping distances, and accelerated wear of other steering/suspension components. The Motorist Assurance Program of America suggests replacing your shocks and struts at 50k miles.
Why are shocks and struts important?
Signs of worn out shocks/struts:
- Rough ride, especially on uneven roads
- Clunking noises going over bumps
- Uneven tire wear known as "cupping"
- Vehicle nose diving when braking
- Longer than usual braking distances
- Leaking from any of the 4 units
