Understanding the Importance of Shocks and Struts

Shocks and struts play a crucial role in your vehicle’s suspension system, ensuring a balanced and smooth ride with all four wheels firmly on the road. Regular inspections of these components are essential for maintaining optimal handling characteristics. When shocks and struts are worn out, they compromise vehicle safety and performance. At autoMAX Car Care, we conduct thorough inspections and replace worn-out shocks and struts, restoring your car’s handling to its original, factory-new condition.

How Struts and Shocks Contribute to Your Vehicle's Performance

The Dynamics of Suspension

Your car’s suspension system comprises various elements, including springs, struts, and shocks. Springs absorb road impact, struts support springs, and shocks (shock absorbers) minimize bounce by absorbing residual movement in suspension springs. Properly maintained struts and shocks are vital to prevent unexpected challenges like potholes or rough roads from causing wheels to bounce off the ground, ultimately preventing loss of control and collisions.
