Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Has your ride suddenly become bouncy? Are you seemingly having difficulty controlling your vehicle as you operate it? Do you feel vibrations in the steering wheel as you drive?

If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, then it's likely that you need shock and strut replacement. While these critical vehicle suspension components tend to last anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 miles before service is necessary, you'll notice it in your vehicle's performance when they do begin to wear. Contact your local GreatWater-affiliated shop today to schedule shock replacement or struts replacement or read on to learn more.

Signs Your Shocks or Struts Need to Be Replaced

If your vehicle's shocks or struts are on the fritz, it's going to change how your car's wheels come in contact with the pavement. Here are some signs to be on the lookout for that may indicate that replacement is necessary:

  • Bouncing while driving: Bouncing may be especially noteworthy after hitting bumps or potholes.
  • Nose diving while braking hard and/or the rear of the car squatting while the front end of the car rises during acceleration.
  • Uneven tire wear, especially on one side of the vehicle.
  • You notice the vehicle rolling or swaying when it's turning or cornering.
  • You feel vibrations in the steering wheel, especially during braking and acceleration.
  • Unusual clunking sounds coming from the vehicle.
  • Fluid leakage coming from the components.

Benefits of Shock & Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts do more than just ensure a smooth, stable ride, they're also important to safety. Bad shocks and struts can make it more difficult to control your vehicle as you're driving it, which can lead to swaying, bouncing, hydroplaning, and more.
