Suspension Repairs

 

If you don’t know a strut from a shock, don’t worry. Here are a few things drivers should know about their suspension systems:

1. What are car struts and shocks? In simple terms, both dampen (absorb) spring movement. You can spot a car that has bad struts and shocks because the trunk and/or hood tend to bounce up and down following a quick stop. Shock absorbers control this movement. Struts are similar, but they work better in compact areas, and they’re lighter too. We provide car strut and shock installation repairs at all of our Caledon location.
2. How do I know it’s time to replace my suspension/struts/shocks? Be on guard if your car has 80,000 to 100,000 (or above) kms on the odometer or is between 5-15 years old. And if your car bounces up and down, drives crookedly, or struggles through turns, you know you’ve waited too long.
3. What are the benefits of suspension repair in Caledon? A much smoother ride is the biggest benefit, but a good suspension system also protects your car’s components from damage as the car goes over bumpy terrain. Additionally, you’ll be safer as you drive with wheels and tires that have even wear.
