Why Shocks and Struts Matter
When your ride starts feeling rough, bouncy, or unstable, it may be time to have your shocks and struts inspected. At Automotive Super Center, our ASE-certified technicians specialize in suspension repair and replacement, helping you restore comfort, control, and confidence behind the wheel.
Your vehicle’s suspension system does much more than smooth out bumps — it’s essential for safe steering, braking, and handling. Shocks and struts work together to absorb impact, keep your tires firmly on the road, and prevent your vehicle from bouncing after hitting potholes or uneven surfaces.
When these parts wear out, you’ll notice longer stopping distances, uneven tire wear, and a less-stable ride — especially on the winding or uneven roads of East Texas.
Signs You May Need New Shocks or Struts
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule a suspension inspection:
- Excessive bouncing or swaying after hitting bumps
- The front end dips forward when braking
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Leaking fluid near your shocks or struts
- Knocking or clunking sounds over rough roads
- Poor steering response or drifting on turns
Even if you don’t see symptoms, most manufacturers recommend inspecting your shocks and struts every 50,000 miles. Rough roads, towing, or heavy loads can cause them to wear out even faster.
