Shocks and Struts Video

Shock absorbers and struts play an important role in your vehicle’s control and handling. They work with the suspension springs to reduce bouncing and help keep your ride stable as you drive around Chicago, IL.

Inside the shock or strut, a piston moves through hydraulic fluid to control the movement of the springs.

This helps keep your tires in contact with the road and improves overall handling.

Over time, shocks and struts can wear out or develop leaks. When this happens, you may notice increased bouncing, reduced handling, or a rougher ride. These symptoms can have more than one cause, so proper testing is important.

At Maxcare Auto Centers, we can help inspect your suspension system. We may begin with an evaluation as part of our auto diagnostics service and check related components within the suspension repair system.

Maintaining your shocks and struts can help reduce wear on tires and other suspension components while supporting better handling.

If your suspension system needs to be inspected or serviced, call 773-666-0085 today.
