Replacement Shocks And Struts

Replace your car’s worn shocks and struts with high-quality parts to maintain your car’s good health. Car care is kind of like gardening. You can certainly drive your car around without paying attention to its needs, but you’ll find it withering if it’s not being nourished. Knowing what to look for and listen to can help you know when it’s time to replace your shocks and struts.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Car’s Shocks and Struts?

Most mechanics give 50,000 miles as the “magic number” when it comes to shocks and struts. But due to road and weather conditions, this number is not going to be accurate for each and every car. Being able to identify some of the warning signs of worn shocks can help you determine when it’s time to invest in a high-quality replacement.

• Handling–turning sharp corners and overall handling of the car will be sloppier
• Tire wear–your tires may wear out more quickly when your shocks are bad
• Comfort–you’ll feel more bouncing over the bumps in the road
• Braking–stopping distance can extend when worn shocks fail to keep the tires on the road

If you experience any of these situations while driving, take your car for an inspection and be sure to have the suspension components checked. Consider ordering spare parts to have on hand for repairs. We offer top-quality parts, such as the Monroe Sensa-Trac, at wholesale prices.
