| Shocks/Struts |
|
|
|
Your vehicle’s suspension system is what
provides you with a comfortable ride and helps keep the
wheels in contact with the road. If your ride’s not so
comfortable anymore, it’s time to have your suspension
system checked out by the expert technicians at AAMCO. |
|
|
|
Signs of bad shocks or struts or worn springs
include a bouncy or uncomfortable ride, bottoming out, the
front end of the vehicle diving or loss of control while
making a sudden stop, the vehicle swerving more than normal
while changing lanes, and a vehicle that sags in the front
or the rear. |

Shock Service |
|
Shocks are designed to provide a specific
amount of resistance every time the wheels on your vehicle
bounce up and down, or when your vehicle’s chassis leans as
you make a turn. Shocks can wear out in as little as 25,000
to 30,000 miles due to the constant motion your car, truck
or SUV is subjected to. It’s a good idea to have your shocks
checked about once a year or so for your safety and comfort.
This inspection is included in AAMCO’s 36-point
ProtectCheck
Inspection.

Strut Service |
|
Most front-wheel drive cars have a McPherson
strut suspension system, which combines the coil springs and
shocks into one unit. Struts control spring and suspension
movement to keep tires in contact with the road. Struts cost
more, but typically have a longer life than conventional
shock absorbers. However, struts do wear out and should be
checked about once a year or so to be safe; their inspection
is included in AAMCO’s 36-point
ProtectCheck Inspection. |

|
Coil Spring Service |
|
Coil springs help shocks and struts keep
vehicle bounce to a minimum. All springs sag with age, as
the spring weakens over time. Coil springs should be checked
about once a year or so for your comfort and safety; their
inspection is included in AAMCO’s 36-point
ProtectCheck
Inspection. |
