Shock Strut Replacement
Shock and Strut Replacement in Roseville, CA
A shock strut replacement service involves the replacement of the shock absorbers or struts on a vehicle. Let's break this down a bit further:
Shock Absorbers: These are hydraulic (oil-filled) devices designed to absorb and reduce the impact and rebound of the vehicle's suspension and springs. They play a crucial role in providing a smooth ride and ensure the tires remain in contact with the road at all times, improving braking and handling.
Struts: Struts are a structural part of the suspension system that integrates the coil spring (which maintains vehicle height) and the shock absorber into one unit. Like shock absorbers, they help dampen the movement of the suspension. However, because they're also a structural part of the suspension, struts provide support for the vehicle's weight, allow for alignment adjustments, and affect the vehicle's handling and ride comfort.
Worn shocks and struts make for an uncomfortable ride. Learn the signs it's time for replacement and schedule service at Roseville Toyota.
