Need Shocks Replaced on Your Car Visit Russ Darrow

If you’ve noticed a change in how your car handles, it seems slightly bouncier than usual over rough pavement, or you’re having steering issues, you might need to replace the shocks. Visit Russ Darrow for the best automobile service in Milwaukee!

Understanding what shocks do helps in knowing why and when they need replacing. Shocks keep the tires from bouncing, which causes loss of road contact, and they also keep the vehicle body weight from shifting and rolling, which causes a loss of vehicle control and handling. When shocks and struts work well, the vehicle maintains traction on the road and has optimum stability in every driving condition – stopping, turning, swerving, and over bumps and potholes. Worn shocks can lead to poor handling, including swaying or instability. During turns, there is a feeling of the vehicle being out of control. If this ever happens to you while driving, visit Russ Darrow for an inspection of your shocks and replacement if needed. We work out of the state-of-the-art service and repair facility at the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealerships, and we use parts that were manufactured specifically for your make and model vehicle. You’ll know that these parts fit right and work properly.

It’s best not to ignore the signs of worn shocks. It can be dangerous and costly in the long run. Some signs to pay attention to reviews here: Excessive bouncing –  if your car continues to bounce significantly after hitting a bump, your shocks aren’t doing their job. Nose diving during braking – when you hit the brakes, worn shocks can cause the front of your car to dip excessively, reducing braking effectiveness. If your car leans too much while cornering or feels unstable, you can bet it could be from worn shocks. Uneven tire wear can also indicate that your shocks are not distributing weight evenly. If your vehicle’s ride quality has noticeably declined, it could be due to worn shocks transferring more road defects to the cabin. Oil leaks – visually inspect your shocks for signs of oil leaks, which indicates they’re failing. If you are experiencing any of these problems, visiting Russ Darrow is best. The technicians can pinpoint worn shocks and replace them so you can be safe on the road.

It’s good to know that when shocks are working as designed, the vehicle is in control and able to respond to and recover from steering and braking commands quickly. As the shocks wear, they allow too much body and tire movement, weight shifts too far forward too quickly, and the vehicle may be harder to steer. At the end of the stop, the nose of the car may bob up and down; this is a good clue the shocks are worn, as they can no longer control body movement. While replacing your shocks every 50,000 to 100,000 miles is recommended, the indicators mentioned above mean you should bring your car to a Russ Darrow technician immediately.
