Ride Smooth with Shocks & Struts Replacement at Kwik Kar in Texas

If your vehicle feels bouncy, bottoms out over bumps, or takes a nose-dive when braking, it may be time to replace your shocks and struts. At Kwik Kar Automotive Lube & Services, we provide professional shock and strut inspections, repairs, and replacements across Texas—keeping your car stable, safe, and smooth on every drive.

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.

Signs You May Need Shock or Strut Replacement

If you experience any of the following, visit your local Kwik Kar for a suspension check:

  • Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
  • Car nose-diving during hard braking
  • Vehicle sways or leans on turns
  • Uneven or premature tire wear
  • Visible fluid leaks on shocks/struts
  • Steering feels loose or unstable
  • Rebound test: car bounces more than once after pressing a corner down
