How To Keep
Your Wheels On The Road - Tips
NOTE: Shocks and struts are part of the complex steering/suspension system
of the vehicle.
Everything within system must conform to specifications for satisfactory
ride control and safety.
Have wheel alignment and balance checked periodically; inspect and rotate
tires every 6,000 miles or twice a year.
If your vehicle has more than 25,000 miles on the original shock absorbers
or struts, internal parts may be worn. From that point throughout their
service life they also should be inspected at every 6,000 miles or twice a
year.
Quality Pays
Shock absorbers cannot be repaired. When they fail they must be replaced.
For superior
performance and long life, invest in the best shocks or struts available
able for your particular needs. The Ride Control Institute recommends gas
filled shocks or struts which provide quick reaction to various road
conditions, improve handling and reduce sway.
For best control and handling of your absorb road shocks. If a spring had to
vehicle, replace shocks or struts in pairs do this without the dampening, or
in sets of four.
Periodically your car should have a thorough inspection by a qualified
technician.
