The Basics Behind Struts Replacement Services at Odessa Tire Center Inc.

While the function of shocks and struts is very similar, the biggest difference is in how they mount to your vehicle. Shocks function in addition to other suspension components, while struts are designed as a pivot point for the steering mechanism. Struts behave as a dampening device that absorbs excessive bounce. The strut assembly combines coil springs, spring seats, strut bearings, and shock absorbers into one working unit. The steering arm or steering knuckle is also included in some strut designs. Struts use a piston to absorb high lateral loads. The spring seat and strut bearing allow the shock to pivot with the front wheels and the steering mechanism. Struts and accompanying suspension components help push tires back into place when one leaves the road. Overall, struts work in conjunction with the rest of the suspension system to help stabilize the vehicle while maintaining a comfortable and safe ride.

Why Should You Have Struts Replacement Services Performed at Odessa Tire Center Inc.?

Worn struts increase braking distance and increase body roll, sway, and bounce rate. The bounce test, wherein you bounce on each corner of your vehicle a few times, is a good way to determine whether or not you need to schedule a strut replacement. If your vehicle bounces and settles, your struts are operating as they should. If your vehicle continues to bounce, you should seek to replace the struts on your suspension system as soon as possible. Other signs that your struts need to be replaced include excessive brake dive, acceleration squat, body roll or sway, and unusual tire wear patterns. Unusual noise from struts may also indicate that the spring seat or strut bearing requires a replacement. If you experience any of the above signs of worn struts, contact us immediately. Having your struts replaced will improve braking, handling, and the overall controllability of your vehicle.

We proudly service the Struts Replacement needs of customers in Odessa, TX, Midland, TX, Monahans, TX, and surrounding areas.

Struts are an important part of your vehicle’s suspension system. They provide structural support to the suspension, support the spring, and hold the tire in position. When your strut is damaged in any way, your vehicle is unsafe to drive. You need to repair it quickly. Below are some signs that indicate you need new struts.

  • Excessive bouncing when driving over bumps, cracks, or potholes in the road.
  • The front-end of your vehicle dipping too much when braking.
  • Uneven tire wear, especially on the front tires, due to improper weight distribution caused by worn struts.
  • Difficulty steering can be indicative of worn struts which make it challenging to properly control your vehicle.
  • Fluid leaks around the strut assembly are indicative of a strut failure or damage to the strut.
  • Excessive noise or clunking sounds coming from the suspension area, indicating worn-out or damaged struts.
  • Uncomfortable driving can indicate you need new struts. Struts provide stability while driving and aid in shock absorption. So, if your ride is not smooth, your strut may be worn.
  • Visible damage or corrosion on the strut assembly can compromise structural integrity and performance of the strut.
  • If your vehicle has been driven for over 50,000 miles or if it's been more than five years since the last strut replacement, it may be time to consider getting them inspected and replaced if necessary.
