OE Mopar Shocks & Struts

The shocks and struts in your SUV, pickup, car, or van have a lot to do with the quality and comfort of your ride. They control the action of your coil springs. That helps to keep your tires on the road and your wheels properly aligned, giving you the reliable handling and braking you need.

Know the Difference Between Shocks and Struts

Shocks are independent, hydraulic parts of your suspension and steering systems that minimize the movement of your springs. Struts, on the other hand, are integrated components in both systems. Since they're weight-bearing elements, they're stronger than shocks. Replacing struts is more involved than replacing shocks, since you'll also need to conduct an alignment after installing new struts.

How to Recognize Problems with Shocks or Struts

Eventually your shocks and struts can take too much abuse and begin to fail. Signs of this include:

• A bumpier-than-normal ride
• Your vehicle bottoms out when you back out of the driveway
• You see a greasy film on your suspension parts
• Your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake

Genuine OEM Shocks and Struts Work Best for Your Vehicle

If you notice any of these symptoms, inspect your suspension system. If your shocks or struts need to be replaced, make sure to choose the best parts for your model. Your manufacturer makes shocks and struts that are designed to fit right into place, with a guaranteed compatibility you can count on.
