Why Shocks & Struts Inspection is Important
The shocks and struts are what helps to give you a smooth ride when you're driving down the road. When you hit a bump, the goal is not to be bounced around. In some instances, the suspension can be damaged from an accident. In other instances, it is due to normal wear and tear. Especially if you drive over a lot of rugged terrains, you will be thankful for the suspension. You will have either a shock or strut at each wheel depending on the type of vehicle and steering system that you have.
Knowing When It's Time to Replace Shocks & Struts
If you don't get your shocks or struts inspected regularly, you may experience them wearing considerably. After a while, it will be time to get them replaced. You may notice a few signs that it's time to get a suspension repair:Ā
- There's a nosedive when you stop
- The tire tread is uneven
- There's a drift or pull when you turn
- The car rides rough
As you notice these things, it's a sign that you need to make an appointment for a technician to take a look at what's going on.
