Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance guidance and have the suspension inspected if you notice changes in ride or handling.

Shock and strut replacement FAQs
When should shocks or struts be replaced?
Replacement depends on wear, damage and how the vehicle handles, rather than one mileage interval for every vehicle. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance guidance and arrange an inspection if ride quality or handling changes.
Will I need an alignment after strut replacement?
Strut replacement can affect wheel angles, so alignment is commonly needed afterward. The appropriate work depends on the vehicle and the components replaced. See our wheel alignment service for more information.
How much does shock or strut replacement cost?
Cost depends on the vehicle, the parts required and whether related suspension components need attention. Request an inspection so Twin Peaks Auto Repair can assess the concern and recommend the appropriate work.
