What’s included

Shocks and struts help control suspension movement. Excessive bouncing, body movement or uneven tire wear can be reasons to book an inspection, but those symptoms alone do not identify a failed part. Your vehicle’s design and the findings determine the appropriate repair.

Describe the ride
Tell the advisor whether the issue appears over bumps, while turning or during braking.
Inspect the suspension
Review visible leakage, mounting condition and related steering or suspension concerns.
Plan the repair
Compare the recommended replacement parts and ask whether alignment is needed afterward.

How it works

Extra bounce, body movement, a harsh ride or uneven tire wear can be reasons to inspect the suspension. Shocks and struts control movement, but other worn components can create similar symptoms. An inspection helps identify the cause and the parts appropriate for your vehicle.

Step 1: Look for leaks and wear
Shocks and struts are inspected for leaking fluid and worn or damaged mounts.
Step 2: The right parts for your vehicle
A shock, a strut and a complete strut assembly are different parts. Your estimate names the ones your vehicle needs.
Step 3: Installed, then checked
After new struts go in, ask whether an alignment is needed. Your advisor tells you before any extra work.

Do all vehicles use the same shocks or struts?

No. Suspension design, vehicle specification and installed equipment affect the correct replacement parts. The store checks fitment before quoting the work.

Does uneven tire wear mean I need new shocks?

Uneven wear can have several causes. Inspection of the tires, alignment and suspension helps narrow down the cause before parts are replaced.

How much does shocks & struts cost?

It depends on your vehicle and what it needs, so your store quotes it after looking at the vehicle and before any work is done.

How long does shocks & struts take?

Plan on about 30 min in the bay. Your advisor tells you before starting if your vehicle needs longer, for example when parts must be ordered.

Do I pay when I book?

No. Booking online is free and there is no payment today. You pay at Anaheim after the work is done.

Can I wait while it’s done?

Yes. When you book, choose whether you’ll wait or drop off your vehicle, and your store plans the visit around it.

Can I combine this with another service?

Yes. You can choose several services when you book. Your store reviews the work you chose, available parts and time needed before confirming.
