Shocks and struts are part of your vehicle's suspension system, responsible for absorbing bumps, vibrations, and impacts from the road surface. While they may seem like simple components, their role in maintaining stability and control cannot be overstated.

What Shocks Do:

Shocks, also known as shock absorbers, dampen the up-and-down motion of your vehicle's suspension. When you hit a bump or dip in the road, shocks help control the movement of the springs.

What Struts Do:

Struts, on the other hand, are a more complex component that combines the functions of a shock absorber and a structural support for the vehicle's suspension. Struts support the weight of the vehicle and provide a mounting point for other suspension components, such as the coil spring and steering knuckle.
