Shocks and Struts

Let's talk shocks and struts.

Shock absorbers and struts can wear out pretty slowly for most vehicles in the Fairbanks area. They're easy to and commonly taken for granted, your shocks and struts do a very important job so you need to pay attention to them. Other than keeping your tires on the road, shocks/struts allow you to safely handle your car through turns, over bumps and even assist your brakes to stop in time.

When your shocks and struts are worn, your tires bounce excessively over bumps, wallow through corners, your vehicle's front-end will dive when you stop; and your rear-end will squat when you accelerate. All this hurts your ability to control your vehicle, and your ride just isn't as comfortable.

Struts/shocks are a major part of a vehicles suspension system, and when they are worn out it stresses other suspension and steering parts causing them to wear prematurely. Worn shocks or struts cause excessive tire wear so you'll have to replace your tires sooner than you should. We generally recommend replacing shocks and struts at 50,000 miles.
