Why Choose High-Quality Struts?
Struts are a vital part of your car's suspension system, combining a shock absorber and structural support into one unit. They ensure your tires stay in contact with the road, enhancing stability, handling, and braking. Worn struts can negatively impact ride comfort and safety, making timely replacements essential.

-
Improved Ride Comfort: Absorb road imperfections for a smoother drive.
-
Enhanced Handling: Maintain steering precision and stability.
-
Increased Safety: Provide better braking efficiency and control.
-
Prolonged Tire Life: Reduce uneven wear caused by poor alignment or suspension performance.

FAQs About Car Struts
1. How often should I replace car struts?
Struts typically last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Signs of wear include a bumpy ride, poor handling, or uneven tire wear.
2. What’s the difference between a shock and a strut?
