Hi, I'm Scott from Stan's Automotive. Have you ever wanted to know more about your auto
repairs, but were afraid to ask your mechanic? We're dedicated to making sure you can drive
your vehicle for as long as possible with the least amount of expenses. This brief video
provides you with information designed to help you make the right decision about auto
repairs. Shock absorbers and struts influence the control
and handling characteristics of your vehicle. They work in conjunction with the vehicle's
springs to dampen the bouncing motion of the vehicle as affected by road conditions. The
energy is absorbed as a piston inside the shock pushes against hydraulic fluid. This
restricts the rebounding movement of the springs.
Your shock absorbers or struts should be replaced every 50,000 miles or immediately if a fluid
leak is detected.
Driving with old or faulty shocks will lead to premature and uneven wear on tires, and
increased wear to other suspension components.
This reduces the handling ability of the vehicle and can cause it to become unstable possibly
causing an accident.
Replacing shocks and struts on a regular basis and immediately upon indication of a leak
will prevent premature wear of tires, and reduce wear on other vehicle systems.
From a safety standpoint since Shocks and struts control vehicle handling, your ride
quality will be greatly affected.
This could result in an uncomfortable ride and could possibly cause an accident, endangering
your life and those of others.
Because shocks & struts also affect your vehicle's fuel efficiency ,driving with adequate shocks
will reduce your impact on the environment. Please call or go to our website and make
