Does your car bounce up and down when going over a bump? Do you feel and hear a thud or clanking noise when you hit a pothole? Does your car seem to swerve or sway when you make a turn? Does it seem to sit higher or lower from the front to the rear? If so, then you should have your car checked out by a certified auto repair technician to determine if you have any damages.
Your shocks and struts are parts of your car’s front and rear suspension systems that helps you keep control and provide a smooth comfortable ride. Depending on your specific car, usually your front shocks and struts are most likely to fail first which is where most of the heavy weight is distributed.
The damage can range from broken springs and leaking cylinders to uneven tire wear and bumpy driving. You should replace them in pairs or all four at the same time if any have failed.
Virginia Automotive Service is your car’s shock and strut headquarters with certified technicians that specialize in suspension system repairs.
So, if you feel a bumpty bump or a clickety clang call Virginia Automotive Service for an appointment to have it checked out.
