Service Overview
Shocks control how your suspension moves — worn ones let the vehicle float, nosedive and wander. Replacement restores the planted, controlled ride the chassis was designed for.
The job involves both shocks on an axle (always replaced in pairs), mount and bushing inspection, and a road test.
