Shocks & Struts
As you drive your vehicle on the open road, your shocks and suspension ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. If you notice your vehicle dipping over bumps or drifting around corners, it might be time to replace your suspension system to restore optimal performance. Whether your vehicle has shock absorbers or a strut-based system, you can rely on the experts at San Francisco Automotive Solutions, the best auto repair shop near you, to handle it. With over two decades of experience, their ASE-certified technicians know exactly what to look for in your vehicle's suspension system.
Many people believe that shock absorbers alone provide the smooth ride they desire. In reality, the coil springs absorb the bumps, while the shock absorbers help the springs rebound and manage the stress of everyday driving. When these components work together, they ensure you have full control of your vehicle. Additionally, components like rods, shafts, control arms, bushings, knuckles, and joints are crucial for a properly functioning suspension system.
In many front-wheel-drive vehicles, the suspension system integrates control arms and shock absorbers into a single, efficient unit, reducing the need for extra components. Although struts may be slightly more expensive, they offer greater functionality than traditional shock absorbers and are cheaper to maintain due to fewer components.
No matter what needs replacing, you can trust the ASE-certified technicians at San Francisco Automotive Solutions to take care of your vehicle promptly and efficiently.
