Shocks

Many drivers know that shocks and struts are important to their car, but they don’t know what they do.

Shocks
The primary purpose of a shock is to hold tires to the road, giving passengers a safer, smoother ride. They aren’t just for comfort – they affect steering, road handling and braking of a vehicle, so they are very important for safety. Shocks become especially important in off road racing car or truck to gain traction and predictability.

Struts
In newer cars that include struts instead of shocks, struts are compact, and allow for lighter vehicles and more interior room. They not only control the up and down movement of the tire, but contribute to the steering pivotal rotation.
