Shocks
Damaged or worn shocks can greatly reduce the overall handling of your vehicle. Shocks help your tires maintain traction with the road providing a safer ride for drivers and passengers. Improved traction offers more responsive steering in addition to safer braking. Due to normal wear and tear, shocks may lose their effectiveness over time. Worn shock absorbers can reduce the drivers control and may even increase the risk of an accident.
