Your Shock and Strut
Experts in Jacksonville, FL
Looking for reliable and high-quality shock and strut services for your vehicle? Look no further. Keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely with Maxi Auto Repair and Service.
The shocks and struts are critical components of your suspension system. They help absorb the bumps and vibrations and keep your vehicle stable on the road.
Over time, the shocks and struts will wear out and lose their ability to absorb shocks and vibrations. This can lead to a number of issues, including:
- Increased bouncing or swaying while driving
- Uneven tire wear
- Decreased handling and stability
- Difficulty steering or stopping
- Increased noise or vibration while driving
If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to have your shocks and struts inspected and replaced. Good thing Maxi Auto Repair and Service offers the various shock and strut services you need.
What are Shocks and Struts?
Shocks and struts are both components of a vehicle's suspension system. While both help with the vehicle’s handling and stability, the two work differently.
Shocks are hydraulic or gas-filled cylinders attached to the vehicle’s frame and wheels. When the vehicle hits a bump or encounters uneven terrain, the shocks compress and expand to absorb the shock and prevent the vehicle from bouncing excessively.
Struts are similar to shocks, but they also serve as a structural component of the suspension system. They are a combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring. They’re typically used in the front suspension of a vehicle.
Depending on the year, make, and model, your vehicle might only have struts, only shocks, or a combination of two struts on the front and two shocks on the rear. Nonetheless, these components are essential for maintaining the safety and comfort of a vehicle’s ride.
Unfortunately, shocks and struts wear over time, losing their ability to absorb shocks and vibrations. This leads to a range of issues impacting your ride.
Our Shock and Strut Services
If you are experiencing ride instability or other issues, it is recommended that you have your shocks and struts inspected by a qualified technician to determine if replacement is necessary.
Our experienced technicians can inspect your shocks and struts for signs of wear and damage, including leaks, corrosion, and worn bushings.
If your shocks and struts are worn or damaged, we can replace them with high-quality parts designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. We recommend replacing shocks and struts as pairs—if one is worn out, the other is likely worn out or not far behind.
In addition to shocks and struts, we can repair other components of your suspension system, such as ball joints, control arms, and sway bars. We also perform wheel alignment to ensure your vehicle is appropriately aligned and driving smoothly.
