Shocks and struts wear gradually, making changes in ride quality difficult to notice day-to-day. Watch for these key warning signs that indicate replacement is needed.
Bouncy or Floating Ride
If your vehicle continues bouncing after hitting bumps or feels like it's floating over road undulations, the shocks or struts are no longer controlling suspension travel properly.
Nose Dive When Braking
When the front of your vehicle dips noticeably toward the ground during braking, worn front struts aren't controlling weight transfer, which also increases stopping distances.
Excessive Body Roll
Noticeable leaning when cornering indicates worn shocks or struts aren't controlling body motion, making your vehicle feel less stable and confident in turns.
Uneven Tire Wear
Worn suspension components allow tires to bounce slightly, creating cupped or scalloped wear patterns on the tread that indicate replacement is needed.
Visible Oil Leaks
Oil on the outside of shock or strut bodies indicates failed seals, as these components are filled with oil or gas for proper dampening function.

I don’t usually leave Google reviews, but I had such a great experience here. It was really easy to schedule an appointment, everyone was very friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly, and the whole process was quick and smooth. The pricing was also very reasonable. As long as I’m living in South Bend, I’ll definitely come back here if I have any issues with my car. Thank you so much!

Val and the boys at A-Plus Auto Service have been amazing. I brought my car to them as they work with my warranty. I am so glad I picked them out of all the other shops. They explained all my issues and fixed the items promptly. They earned a return customer because of thier customer service skills.
