Understanding Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are essential components of your vehicle’s suspension system, working to absorb road impact and maintain a smooth, stable ride. They help distribute weight evenly across your tires, ensuring optimal traction—even at high speeds. As you drive, these parts continuously expand and compress, minimizing the impact of bumps, potholes, and rough terrain.
