Is Your Ride Rough, Bouncy, or Hard to Control?

Watch for these signs of suspension trouble:

  • Excessive bouncing or swaying after bumps.
  • Difficulty steering or poor handling response.
  • Unusual noises like clunking over potholes.
  • Increased braking distances in stop-and-go traffic.

When to Replace Your Shocks or Struts

Watch for these signs; it’s time to schedule a strut or shock service:

  • Your vehicle sways, rocks, or bounces more—especially on Arlington’s rougher roads
  • You feel less control when turning, stopping, or driving over potholes
  • Fluid leaks are visible around the shock absorbers
  • Tires show uneven wear even after recent alignments
  • You hear knocking, clunking, or rattling from underneath during normal driving

Arlington driving conditions, like frequent construction and heat, can wear down these critical components faster. Addressing these symptoms quickly helps you avoid larger repairs. If you are unsure whether you need shock installation or another type of repair, our team offers genuine advice based on real experience—not just a sales pitch.

FAQs

  • Q. "How do I know if my suspension needs service?"
    Signs that your car needs suspension service include braking problems, abnormal noises, and excessive bouncing. If you are experiencing any of these problems, we recommend getting your vehicle looked at by our professional technicians.
  • Q. "What is the difference between shocks and struts?"
    While one of them will be found in every one of your vehicle’s tires, a vehicle will either have a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both. A shock cannot be used to replace a strut and a strut cannot be used to replace a shock. Which one does your vehicle have? Depends on the make and model. Learn more here.
