Many car and truck owners in Bend and Central Oregon often forget to schedule routine maintenance for the shocks and struts on their vehicles. Often, it's the parts on a vehicle that drivers can't see, such as the shock absorbers and struts that are located under the vehicle, that don't get the attention they deserve. In Central Oregon, we have many uneven streets caused by severe weather, and we use snow tires that can cause unusual damage to an automobile suspension, resulting in an uncomfortable ride and poor handling. This can cause increased wear and tear on other suspension components such as tires, ball joints, springs, struts, and shocks, which can lead to unsafe driving conditions.
Shocks and struts are the only mechanical devices on the automobile designed to reduce up-and-down movement. By having the shocks or struts working properly, this movement can be reduced, which offers many additional benefits, such as an improved ride, handling, and control.
