Why Should I Replace My Shocks/Struts? 

Shocks and struts are a critical component of your vehicle’s suspension. When your suspension compresses or expands during normal driving conditions, shocks and struts help to dampen this movement for a smooth and comfortable ride. Once worn excessively, shocks no longer function correctly, resulting in poor ride quality. 

It’s also essential to match your struts with your vehicle’s lift; IE: a 4-inch lift will typically require 4-inch longer shocks.  

To restore like-new ride quality, consider replacing your shocks and struts. We offer drop-in replacements for all ride heights, including strut/coil combos for ease of installation.

How Do I Know When My Shocks/Struts Need Replacing? 

Poor Ride Quality

When a shock/strut fails, your vehicle’s ride will be noticeably impaired. Symptoms such as excessive bouncing, instability at speeds, and squatting during acceleration and braking are all signs of worn dampers.

Leaking Fluid

Notice an oily coating on the shock body? This is a direct symptom of a failed shock/strut resulting from torn or damaged seals allowing shock oil to leak around the piston. 

Irregular Chassis Noises

Experiencing irregular noises from your vehicle’s wheel wells, especially when traversing bumps? Worn shocks tend to exhibit banging, clanking, or rattling noises with failed components.
