Knowledge Database - Struts

Question: Why do you need to replace struts?

Answer: Struts play an integral role in your vehicle’s handling and braking. They keep your tires in constant contact with the road. Without struts, including springs and shock absorbers, your car would continue to bounce every time you hit a pot hole or a bump in the road. Worn struts allow your car to bounce excessively from side-to-side or front-to- back, which may remove your tires from the road. Worn struts also increase the distance it takes for your vehicle to stop and increases the wear on your tires. Basically, worn struts can make braking and cornering very dangerous.
