Many drivers assume that shocks and struts are just about enjoying a smooth ride over Calgary’s potholes, but your suspension isn’t just for comfort—it’s what keeps your tires on the ground. If your suspension is worn, your tires bounce off the pavement after a bump, which means you have zero traction when you need to brake or turn. Worn struts can increase your stopping distance by up to 3 meters (10 feet) at highway speeds, which is often the difference between a safe stop and a collision. Whether you are experiencing "nose dive" when braking or hearing a hollow clunk over speed bumps, our maintenance check-up ensures your vehicle handles safely and predictably.
That depends on your specific vehicle, but both do the same job: softening the bounce. Most modern cars use struts on the front tires and shocks on the rear.
