South Kingstown, Wakefield and Narragansett residents know
that shocks and struts are an important part of your vehicles overall safety
and performance. They help to keep your wheels in contact with the road
surface which gives you greater control over the vehicle and a smoother
ride. Shocks and struts also help to give your vehicle better gas
mileage.
Shocks and struts may look like brand new equipment on the
outside, but it is what is going on inside the shock or strut that
matters. They literally take a beating every time you drive your car or
truck down the road. It is estimated that even on a smooth road, shocks
cycle through their range of motion about 1,750 times for every mile
travelled. This means that the shocks and struts on your vehicle will
cycle about 9 million times every 50, 000 miles. (stats and figures from
- www.BrakeandFrontEnd.com)
The question I often hear is, “when should I change my
shocks or struts?” The answer according to a recent article from Brakes and
Front End is every 50,000 miles.
At Quad's Automotive Service and Repair we can service
the shocks or struts on virtually any vehicle. We offer such name brand
equipment as KYB, Bilstein, Rancho and NAPA Quickstruts. If you haven't

struts on your vehicle.
