Drive Smooth. Steer Safe.
When your car doesn’t ride like it used to, or you feel every bump in the road, your suspension may be trying to tell you something. At ADA’s Auto Repair, we offer professional struts and shocks repair in Evansville, IN, helping drivers restore a smooth, safe ride.
Your suspension system doesn’t just affect comfort — it plays a critical role in braking, steering, and vehicle control. Whether you’re hearing clunks, feeling bounce, or noticing poor handling, we’ll inspect your suspension and give you honest answers about what needs attention.
What Do Struts and Shocks Actually Do?
Shocks and struts are part of your vehicle’s suspension system, helping absorb road impact, reduce bounce, and maintain tire contact with the road. While similar in function, they aren’t the same:
- Shock absorbers dampen the energy of spring movement to control bounce.
- Struts combine shocks with structural support and play a role in alignment and steering.
Worn components don’t always fail dramatically — but even gradual wear can affect your ability to stop safely or maintain control in emergency situations.
Common Signs You Need Suspension Repair
You don’t need to be a mechanic to know something’s off. Watch for these common symptoms of failing struts or shocks:
Excessive bouncing after bumps or potholes
Nose diving when braking
Uneven or rapid tire wear
Clunking or knocking sounds
Fluid leaking from the shock or strut housing
Vehicle leaning or sagging on one side
Poor handling or swaying around turns
Rough, unstable ride at highway speeds
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait — a simple inspection could prevent a dangerous situation or major suspension damage.
