Why Are Shocks and Struts Important?
- Ride comfort and handling
- Even tire wear
- Braking performance and control
- Suspension system health
Over time, they wear out due to potholes, rough roads, weather conditions, and natural aging—leading to poor ride quality and unsafe handling.
The Difference Between Shocks & Struts
While both manage road impact, shocks and struts serve different roles:
- Shocks: Absorb road vibrations and keep tires in contact with the road. Common on rear-wheel drive vehicles.
- Struts: Structural components of the suspension system that support the vehicle’s weight and alignment. Often found on front-wheel drive or modern cars. Struts also include a coil spring, providing added cushioning during turns and braking.
