Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, weekend warrior, or soccer parent, your vehicle’s shocks and struts play an important role in maintaining a smooth, controlled, and safe ride wherever you need to go. While shocks and struts perform different functions, both are important components of your vehicle’s suspension system and can experience wear due to Arizona driving conditions, normal mileage, and rough roads.
Over thousands of miles, components within shocks and struts can gradually wear and lose their ability to effectively control suspension movement, resulting in changes to ride comfort, handling, and stability. At Precision Tire & Auto Center, our technicians understand how important a properly functioning suspension system is for everyday driving. That’s why our team is equipped to handle everything from worn shocks and struts, leaking seals, and suspension component wear to complete shock and strut replacement. Our shock and strut inspections, services, and repairs are designed to restore proper suspension performance and help keep you confident on the road.
Signs Your Shocks or Struts May Need Service
Shocks and struts are critical components of your vehicle’s suspension system and can directly affect ride control, handling, steering stability, and braking performance. As the odometer rises and your vehicle is continually exposed to Phoenix’s extreme heat, rough roads, and potholes, shocks and struts can experience increased wear over time.
Some common signs your shocks or struts may need attention include:
- Excessive bouncing after going over bumps
- Your vehicle continues to bounce after hitting a dip or bump
- Excessive body roll when turning
- Nose-diving when braking
- Uneven or cupped tire wear
- Vehicle pulling or wandering while driving
- Clunking, knocking, or other unusual suspension noises
- A noticeably rough or unstable ride
- Visible fluid leaking from a shock or strut
Keeping up with regular suspension service on your Ford, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Dodge, or other vehicle can help address worn components before they contribute to uneven tire wear, premature tire replacement, steering concerns, or reduced vehicle control.
