Shocks and struts damp suspension movement to help keep tires in contact with the road. Worn damping components can allow excessive bouncing or contribute to uneven wear. Struts also form a structural part of the suspension on vehicles that use them.

When to have it checked

  • Repeated bouncing after bumps
  • Fluid leaking from a shock or strut
  • Nose dive, clunks or uneven tire wear
