What it does
Shocks and struts are normally replaced in pairs on the same axle. Worn suspension and steering parts show up as clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear and a vague feel; fresh parts restore control, and performance parts sharpen it.

- Strut mounts: Often worn at the same time.
- Alignment: Needed after strut replacement.
