Shocks vs. Struts

Some people view shocks and struts as interchangeable, but they are different. Both serve similar purposes of dampening vibrations and preventing vehicle bounce. However, struts also provide structural support for the suspension, while shock absorbers do not. Many vehicles have one or the other, with the exception of a few having both.

Common Signs of Worn Shocks and Struts

Throughout the life of your vehicle, parts wear out. Shocks and struts will need to be replaced at some point. When they have worn out, you may experience various warning signs. They include:

  • Vibrations and excess bounciness
  • Longer than usual to brake
  • Car nose dives
  • Leaking fluid around the area
  • Uneven tire wear

If you experience the signs above, we invite you to bring your vehicle to the team at Brutus Auto for an inspection. Our professional technicians can pinpoint and explain exactly what issues arose.

When to Schedule Shocks and Struts

Vehicle symptoms can overlap, so a symptom does not automatically identify the part that needs to be replaced. Inspection and testing help separate the actual cause from the symptom. Consider scheduling shocks and struts or a diagnostic visit when you notice any of the following:

Vibrations and excess bounciness
Longer than usual to brake
Car nose dives
Leaking fluid around the area
Uneven tire wear

Shocks and Struts FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Shocks and Struts

What causes clunking or knocking noises over bumps?

Clunking or knocking over bumps usually means a worn suspension component, often a bad strut mount, control arm bushing, or loose part that's no longer holding tension the way it should. These noises tend to get worse over time and can point to parts that affect how your car handles and stops. Bring your vehicle to Brutus Auto in Manchester and we'll pinpoint exactly what's making the noise before it becomes a safety issue.

Do I need to replace shocks and struts in pairs?

It's usually recommended to replace them in pairs, so both sides of the axle wear and perform evenly. Replacing just one can leave your car handling unevenly, since a fresh unit on one side and a worn one on the other respond differently to bumps and braking. The expert team at Brutus Auto will let you know what your vehicle actually needs, and you can visit us at 148 Merrimack Street, Manchester, NH 03103 for an inspection.

Is it just my shocks, or a bigger suspension problem?

The only way to know for sure is an inspection, since worn shocks and struts often share symptoms with other suspension parts like control arms, bushings, and springs. What feels like one issue can turn out to be several related components, or just one part that's easy to fix. Call Brutus Auto at (603) 624-8881 and we'll diagnose the full suspension so you know exactly what's going on.
