When you’re traveling down a bumpy road, your vehicle’s suspension system minimizes the bounce you feel inside the vehicle. It also maintains connectivity between your tires and the surface of the road, providing steering stability and quality handling.

Your shocks absorb the vertical acceleration your vehicle experiences when it rolls over a bump in the road.

Your struts compress vertically to keep your tires on the road and further absorb the shock of the bump. So if you’re driving down a bumpy road and bouncing around in the cabin of your vehicle, or if you hit some rough railroad tracks and you catch some air, you should have your shocks and struts checked out.

Your local Tuffy Auto Service Center has the equipment necessary to properly test your suspension system and isolate any problem areas. Stop by for a free inspection. As always, if we identify any areas of concern, we’ll discuss our recommendations with you before we begin any repairs.
