SHOCKS AND STRUTS SUSPENSION

Shocks and struts are two components of your suspension system that keep your vehicle balanced and riding smoothly with all four wheels on the road. We recommend shock and strut inspections for maintaining excellent car handling characteristics. Blown shocks and struts can cause a vehicle to handle unsafely on public roads. Upon inspection, Firestone Complete Auto Care tire and auto service professionals can repair worn out shocks and struts, so your car will handle just like it came new from the auto manufacturer.

The Firestone Fixed Right Service Guarantee A Firestone Complete Auto Care experience is a hassle-free experience. Your car will be serviced right the first time — guaranteed.

HOW DO STRUTS AND SHOCKS WORK?

The suspension on your car is made up of many components, including a set of springs that absorb bumps and road impact, a set of struts that support your springs, and a set of shocks (short for shock absorbers) that limit the bounce your car experiences by absorbing residual movement in suspension springs.

Without properly maintained struts and shocks an unexpected pothole, or even a gravel road, can actually cause the wheels of a vehicle to bounce off of the ground, which can easily lead to loss of control and collision.

REPLACE SHOCKS AND STRUTS ON YOUR VEHICLE

Since well-maintained shocks and struts critically contribute to the overall safety and stability of your vehicle'ssteering and suspension, we highly recommend having shocks and struts serviced regularly and well before there is an issue. That said, if you observe any of the following symptoms while you are in your vehicle or looking under the hood, it may mean it has time to bring your vehicle to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care center for service right away:

SHOCK AND STRUT REPLACEMENT SYMPTOMS OBSERVABLE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE

  • Excessive vehicle bouncing
  • Nose of the vehicle dips down, especially when coming to a stop
  • The vehicle sways and leans when turning corners or changing lanes
  • Not enough bounce; the ride seems stiff
  • Steering response is poor, or noise is heard when steering
  • Feels very unstable at high speeds

SHOCK AND STRUT REPLACEMENT VISUAL OBSERVATION SYMPTOMS

  • Vehicle tires are unevenly worn or show abnormally flat areas
  • Shocks or struts show signs of fluid leakage
  • Shock or strut bodies are dented or otherwise physically damaged
  • Bushingsormountsare broken, corroded or otherwise damaged

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY SHOCKS AND STRUTS?

The interval forshock and strut maintenancewill vary depending on vehicle make, model, and driving conditions, so we recommend driver's always reference their vehicle owner's manual for manufacturer-specific service recommendations. Lost your manual? Alternately you can always contact aFirestone Complete Auto Caretire and auto service professional for maintenance recommendations that are unique to your vehicle's specifications.
