What It Is
Struts and shocks dampen the bouncing of the springs so the tires stay in contact with the road. They wear out gradually so most drivers don't notice until they're really bad.
Why It Matters
Worn struts increase stopping distance, hurt handling, and cause uneven tire wear.
How to Save Money on Strut or Shock Replacement
- Always replace in pairs (both fronts or both rears) so handling stays balanced
- Quick-strut assemblies cost more but cut labor in half

How long do struts last?
Typically 50,000 to 100,000 miles, but it depends heavily on road conditions and driving style.
Struts vs shocks, what's the difference?
A strut is a structural part of the suspension. A shock is just a damper. Most modern cars use struts on the front.
