Struts

Struts

Struts are important to overall vehicle operation because they are integral to both the suspension and the steering systems. In addition to general ride quality and load-bearing support, they impact brake performance, wheel alignment, and turning ability.

What happens when you need struts?
Shocks and struts help keep the vehicle stable during acceleration and braking. When a vehicle’s shocks and struts are damaged, the front end can dive upon braking while the rear end squats during acceleration. This happens when these components aren’t strong enough to handle the weight of the vehicle.
