PURPOSE of SHOCKS & STRUTS
Shocks and struts are safety components that maintain vertical loads placed upon the tires. They control spring and suspension movement to keep tires in contact with the road. Under normal conditions on a smooth road, shocks stroke on average 1,750 times for every mile traveled or 7.5 million stabilizing actions on average every 12,000 miles (20,000 kilometers). As a result, shocks and struts do wear out and should be checked every 12,000 miles/20,000 kilometers just to be safe. Worn shocks and struts affect vehicle safety.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Performance Signs You May Need New Shocks or Struts:
