When should shocks, struts & coil springs be replaced?
These suspension components do not need to be replaced at specific mileage intervals, so understanding how to identify when it’s time to get them checked out is important. Shocks and struts wear out over time and if you notice excessive bouncing or nose dives when your car is in motion, make an appointment at Milito’s.
What’s the difference between shocks, struts & coil springs?
If your car is designed with shocks, the coil springs are mounted between the wheels and the vehicle frame. Struts, on the other hand, are essentially a coil spring and shock absorber all in one piece. When you drive over a bump, the car bounces on coil springs, reducing the feeling of instability for the driver and passengers.
