Kia Shock & Strut Replacement Service in St. Louis, MO
Your Kia’s shock and struts absorb the impact of daily driving and help keep your wheels on the road when you hit an uneven patch or pothole during your daily drive. Without proper shock absorption, even a simple pothole can cause you to lose control of your car when driving on the busy roads of St. Louis (or Webster Groves and Kirkwood) and can lead to an accident. By replacing your shock and struts regularly you increase your safety and the smoothness of the ride.
When Do You Need Shocks & Strut Service?
Your car’s shocks and struts are a key component of its suspension system and one that helps improve stability and safety when driving. As such there are often observable signs that you need maintenance such as a stiff ride, feelings of instability at high speeds, lack of steering response, and leaning when you turn. Replacement needs can vary with status requiring replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles according to most experts and shocks every 50,000 miles. Regular inspections can help detect when your shock and struts need replacing as your daily driving conditions and environment can have an impact on overall wear.
Ignoring This Type of Service
Regular maintenance can be an inconvenience, especially with the many tasks that keep you busy in your daily life such as work, education, children, commuting, regular chores, and so on. However, ignoring shock and strut service can lead to unsafe conditions as a lack of control when driving or turning your car or complete loss of control in some circumstances. Another danger is not using the right parts for your repairs. Never use non-OEM parts as they are not made to your Kia’s specifications and are often lower quality than official Kia parts. Also consider modern repair shops often have comfortable lounges, beverages, snacks, and even workstations to make the entire maintenance process more convenient.
