Shocks And Struts

The shocks and struts on your Toyota are a part of the suspension system designed to help you handle all kinds of road conditions. Whether you encounter potholes, bumps, debris in the road, or sudden stops, the shocks and struts are going to help you maintain control of your vehicle. These parts are built to handle a lot of stress and move up and down to accommodate various conditions. They help maintain your tires' contact on the road and give you stability when you're accelerating. That being said, they aren't invincible to damage or wear and tear over time, so it's important to pay attention to how your car is handling on the road. If you're stopping and your car dips further than you expected, it could be a problem with your shocks. A worn out suspension can also cause problems with your vehicle pulling to one side as you're driving. This can be from uneven tread wear on your tires or worn out suspension parts. Of course, if your car continues to bounce after hitting bumps in the road, this can point you to an issue with the system. Make sure you replace any faulty suspension parts with OEM Toyota components, which you can find here on our site.
