Frequently Asked Questions About Shocks & Struts | Green Mountain Auto World, Denver CO
What are shocks and struts?
Shocks and struts are key components of your vehicle’s suspension system. They absorb impacts, control vehicle movement, and ensure smooth handling, improving comfort, stability, and safety while driving.
How do I know if my shocks or struts need to be replaced?
Common signs include:
-
Bumpy or uncomfortable ride
-
Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps
-
Uneven tire wear
-
Nose-diving when braking or swaying in turns
-
Leaking fluid from shocks or struts
What is the difference between shocks and struts?
-
Shocks: Primarily absorb impacts and control bounce.
-
Struts: Include a shock absorber and structural support for the suspension, affecting alignment and steering. Both are essential for safe handling.
Can I replace just one shock or strut, or do I need to replace them in pairs?
For balanced handling and safety, it’s recommended to replace shocks or struts in pairs—either both front or both rear—so your vehicle maintains proper suspension performance.
How often should shocks and struts be inspected or replaced?
Shocks and struts typically last 50,000–100,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. We recommend annual inspections or whenever you notice handling issues, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaks.
Do worn shocks or struts affect braking?
Yes. Worn shocks or struts can increase stopping distances, reduce braking stability, and cause the vehicle to sway or nose-dive, which can compromise safety.
Do you provide shock and strut services for all vehicles?
Yes. We service cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, and commercial vehicles, including performance and hybrid models. Our ASE-certified technicians ensure proper installation and suspension performance.
How long does it take to replace shocks or struts?
Replacement usually takes 1–2 hours per axle, depending on vehicle type and suspension complexity. We ensure precise installation and post-service inspection for safety and performance.
Can bad shocks or struts damage my tires?
Yes. Worn suspension components can cause uneven tire wear, cupping, or bald spots, reducing tire life and affecting handling. Timely replacement helps protect your tires and suspension system.
