Do you ever feel like your car is bouncing all over the place on Renton's roads? Those potholes and uneven surfaces can put stress on your car's suspension system, particularly the shocks and struts. These components play an essential role in maintaining a stable ride, and worn-out shocks or struts can significantly impact your driving experience.
At The Garage in Renton, we specialize in keeping your car's suspension system functioning optimally. Our experienced and knowledgeable technicians can inspect and replace your shocks and/or struts so that you can enjoy your car rides. Our Renton auto repair shop works on most makes and models.
Shocks and Struts: What Are They?
Shocks and struts are part of your car's suspension system, working together to control the bouncing motion of the springs.
- Shocks: These are hydraulic components that absorb the up-and-down movement of the springs and prevent excessive bouncing.
- Struts: Struts combine the function of a shock absorber with a structural component that supports the vehicle's weight and helps maintain wheel alignment. Struts are typically found on newer vehicles, while shocks are more common on older models.
What Are the Signs of Bad Shocks and Struts
- Excessive bouncing
