FAQ - Answer 3 | Is there a difference between a shock and a strut? |
FAQ - Answer 4 | Should I have my vehicle aligned after replacing my shocks or struts? |
FAQ - Answer 5 | Do I need different shocks for front, rear, left, or right applications? |
FAQ - Question 4 | Yes. Although shocks and struts perform a similar function, they vary greatly in their design. Struts are an integral part of a vehicle's suspension system, providing structural support for the vehicle and, as such, are a safety subsystem. Shocks work separately from any structural function, absorbing and damping the bumps from the road. |
FAQ - Question 5 | Yes. You should have your vehicle aligned if you are replacing your vehicle's struts. However, it is not necessary to get your vehicle aligned when replacing your vehicle's shocks unless there was a previous issue. |
FAQ - Question 6 | Yes. It is important to choose the correct shock or strut for your vehicle model and year, as well as for the location in the vehicle. |
