When Should Shocks and Struts Be Replaced?
There is no universal replacement interval for every vehicle, but many shocks and struts begin to lose performance as mileage increases. Even if they are not leaking, they may no longer control vehicle movement as intended.
A professional suspension inspection is the best way to determine whether replacement is needed. If your ride quality has changed or your vehicle feels less controlled, it is worth having it checked by a trusted Abbotsford mechanic near you.
Wheel Alignment After Shock & Strut Replacement
After replacing struts or major suspension components, a wheel alignment is often recommended. Proper alignment helps protect your tires, improve handling, and ensure the new parts perform as intended.
At Dale’s Auto Service, we can advise you if an alignment is needed as part of your repair plan.
