Shocks & Struts
Curtis Tire provides preventive check-ups that can detect when shocks and struts need to be replaced, before your vehicle is damaged.
You may need new shocks or struts if your vehicle:
- Rolls or sways during turns
- Dives forward when braking
- Sits back or "squats" when accelerating
- Bounces or slides sideways on a rough or curvy road
- Bottoms out on bumps
Worn shocks or struts can cause premature wear of:
- Tires
- Steering linkage
- Springs
- Ball joints
- C.V. Joints
Plus, a vehicle with worn shock absorbers is more vulnerable to damage. If you hit a bump or bottom out, you could damage the exhaust system, the transmission or radiator.
