Shocks and Strut Maintenance

Shocks and strut maintenance begins with routine inspections at major service intervals. It is also important for drivers to know the warning signs of shocks and strut trouble, and get a prompt inspection if any show up. These components can last for 100,000 miles or more with favorable driving habits and road conditions.

Handling feels unstable at highway speeds
