SPRINGS & SHOCK ABSORBERS:
Over my lifetime, I've been inundated with muffler and shocks commercials.
All my customers seem to know about shocks when they speak of suspension systems
but it's rather odd that they don't even consider or know about the function of
the suspensions springs. Springs are integral to the suspension system and
they wear out too. Shock absorbers function to dampen the motion and
energy potential of the massive springs, or in other words, the springs are
workhorse of the system. In short, what good is a change of shock
absorbers if the springs are no longer capable of functioning at peak
condition. Hey, it's your choice. My function is to direct you with
information.
McPherson Struts:
McPherson or MacPherson Struts operate under a similar principle as the shock
absorber. It is now become quite common place with front wheel drive
vehicles as it has outstanding or superior drive chacteristics, especially for
smaller vehicles. The strut still incorporates a spring so the above
considerations still apply.
If you'd like to more
more information about your suspension system, we'd be happy to provide you with
a cost estimate and will help to answer your questions. Just give Keith Lehman a
call.
