Shock & Strut Replacement

To avoid suspension issues, Twin Peaks Auto Repair suggests having shocks and struts inspected annually. If any issues are noticed, our ASE Certified auto technicians are skilled at shock & strut replacements on any make, model, or age of cars, trucks, and SUVs. We proudly serve customers in Longmont and the neighboring areas.

Your vehicle’s suspension system channels the power generated in the engine and turns it into motion. The suspension system endures the load of your vehicle, absorbs impact, and supplies responsive steering, making it a crucial component of your vehicle. When the suspension is compromised, it can lead to major issues and safety concerns.

Shocks or struts that are loose or worn can affect a vehicle’s stability and control. When problematic, they can also cause extensive wear on tires and hinder the vehicle’s overall performance. Understanding your vehicle’s suspension and signs that it, or the shocks and struts, might be compromised can help you determine if it’s time to get it looked at.

 

Warning Signs of Suspension Issues

Shock & Strut

  • Bad alignment.
  • Vehicle pulls to one side.
  • Vibrations.
  • Uneven tire wear.
  • Excessive swaying/bouncing.
  • Clunking and/or rattling.

Signs of Wear on Shocks & Struts

  • Bumpy ride.
  • Vehicle bottoms out.
  • Lunging forward when stopping.
  • Rocking while driving/turning corners.
  • Untimely tread wear.
  • Leaking fluids.

Typically, a suspension will need to be replaced about every 50,000 miles. Road conditions, off-roading, and towing can result in shock & strut replacements sooner. Because shocks & struts are worn over time, the way your vehicle handles might not be noticed right away, which is why they should be inspected every year.

At Twin Peaks Auto Repair, our ASE auto technicians will provide a thorough evaluation of your suspension system and offer trusted recommendations for repairs. We use quality Napa auto parts for our shock & strut replacements in Longmont, backed by their national warranty and your complete satisfaction, all at fair prices.
