Here are some "shocking" Quick Facts":Now that you've got the facts, wouldn't you agree that shocks and struts provide more than just a comfortable ride? Protect your investment and get a Safety Triangle Inspection today!
- Under normal driving conditions, shocks and struts stroke on average of 1.750 times every mile you drive - that's over 87 million times in 50,000 miles!
- Shocks and struts seldom go bad all at once. Instead, they gradually deteriorate with time and miles, allowing the driver to become accustomed to the change in ride and handling.
- Shocks and struts help keep your vehicle's tire in firm control with the road. Worn shocks and struts can result in excessive bounce (wheel hop), lessening the driver's control and braking ability.
- A vehicle with just one degraded shock could increase stopping distance up to 10ft.
- Shock absorbers can't be repaired. They are sealed units which must be replaced when they fail.
- Shocks and struts ARE safety equipment! Shocks and struts play a vital role in protecting components from premature failure because they minimize the amount of vibration vehicle's are subject daily.
