Shock/Strut Replacement in Boise, ID at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise

The shocks and struts represent critical components of your vehicle's suspension. Both help to minimize the impact you and your passengers feel along bumpy roads, while also aiding steering. However, as with all car, truck, and SUV parts, they will eventually wear on and require replacement. When you need new shocks/struts for your Dodge, Ram, Jeep, or Chrysler, bring it in to our service center at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise. Customers in Idaho will find us located at 222 S Auto Dr in Boise, ID.

What Are Shocks and Struts?

Shocks and struts both come standard on suspensions for all vehicles, whether a Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, or Ram 2500. The shocks help to absorb the impact the suspension feels whenever you drive over a pothole or on rockier terrain. The struts of your suspension serve a similar purpose, but also help keep the suspension balanced and hold the tires in a specific place. Thus, one cannot substitute one for the other.

When Should Shocks/Struts be Replaced?

The shocks/struts should undergo replacement once every 30,000 miles or so. Many of our technicians will inspect the suspension during your 30/60/90k maintenance plan as the components tend to wear out at these critical junctures. If you tend to drive over rockier terrain daily, or tend to turn tighter corners often, you should consider replacement sooner.

What Are Some Signs of Bad Shocks/Struts?

As the struts of your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, or Ram's suspension help regulate steering and balance, you will feel a difference immediately. The vehicle will start drifting over to one side or the other and you might sense your drive getting a bit bumpier, even on smooth roads. If any of these signs persist, you should replace the shocks/struts of your suspension immediately.
