Kolman’s Korner: Do you know your shocks and struts?

Because wear happens gradually to shocks and struts on light duty vehicles, it is helpful to be aware of the key indicators of deterioration.

In emergency maneuvers, on vehicles that have significantly worn shocks and struts, braking distances can be lengthened and handling and stability can be affected.

Can you list the top 10 signs of worn shocks and struts?

Make your list and compare it to the list compiled by Gabriel, a leading full-line supplier of light vehicle and heavy duty OE and aftermarket shocks and struts. 

That list can be found in Gabriel’s Top 10 Signs of Worn Shocks and Struts video, available within the Answerman section of the company’s website.
