Suspension System

Your shocks and struts work together to ensure a smooth ride. Both of them work to dampen the bounce and swing of your vehicle. If you did not have shocks, your car would bounce up and down uncontrollably! An easy way to put it is - your shocks and struts keep the tires on the ground. They also help you keep control of the car whenever you need to make an emergency maneuver.
