Struts: The Unsung Heroes of Your Vehicle’s Suspension System


Ensure Your Safety and Comfort with Expert Strut Services at Elite Automotive


Your vehicle's struts are vital to both safety and comfort while driving. At Elite Automotive, we understand the importance of well-maintained struts and are here to help you keep your suspension system in top shape. Most drivers aren't aware that a bad strut can significantly increase the stopping distance of their vehicle, making strut maintenance crucial for safe driving.


The Role of Struts in Your Vehicle

Struts are a key component of your suspension system, which connects your car to the wheels. They play an essential role in supporting the vehicle's weight, steering, and absorbing shocks. A strut assembly includes mounts, a spring, and a shock absorber. It stabilizes your vehicle, enhancing control while turning, braking, or accelerating. Not all vehicles have struts; some may use separate shock absorbers and springs, but the basic principles of suspension still apply.


Signs Your Struts May Need Attention

Struts are under constant stress, even when the vehicle is stationary. Over time, the rubber bushings that the strut pivots on can wear out, causing squeaking sounds while turning or driving. Here are some signs that your struts may be going bad:

  • Noise: Squeaking noises while turning or driving.
  • Vehicle Leaning: Your vehicle leans when you turn.
  • Bouncing: Tires bounce excessively after hitting potholes or speed bumps.
  • Front End Dives: The front end dives down when you brake aggressively.
  • Unstable Ride: The vehicle feels unstable, bouncing up and down or "floating."


The Importance of Regular Inspection

Even if you haven’t noticed a reduction in ride quality, regular inspection of your struts is essential. Struts often fail slowly over time, and many drivers don't realize their struts are bad until they compare the ride quality after replacement.
