Worn struts can also cause additional wear to other vehicle components. To maximize your vehicle’s ride comfort, it’s recommended to inspect your vehicle’s struts every year. Be sure to always refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for additional vehicle maintenance practices. Potential affected components may include ball joints and other suspension components, brakes, and tires.

While shocks and struts perform a similar function, they vary greatly in their design. The major difference between shocks and struts is that a strut is a structural part of the vehicle’s suspension system, while a shock is not. A strut is also a crucial part of the vehicle’s steering system and greatly affects alignment angles.
