Suspension systems should continue to operate effectively for many years and tens of thousands of miles, holding your tires footprint on the road. Eventually components do wear out, but how long that takes depends a lot on how you drive.
As you can imagine, if most of your driving is done on smooth Colorado highways, your vehicles shock absorbers will last a lot longer than if you do most of your driving on bumpy Denver roads or hauling heavy loads. In addition to just wearing out, upgraded shock suspension components can be damaged in an accident or by a hard impact – like a pothole, hitting a curb or rock in the road.
Because the life span of the suspension system can vary so widely, your vehicle manufacturer recommends periodic inspections. During a car inspection at Express Car Care, your Denver service technician will check for worn, broken or missing suspension parts. If the inspection reveals any problems, don’t neglect to take care of this important safety and handling work. When you replace your shocks, it’s usually a good idea to replace all four at the same time. This will give you even handling at all four corners of the vehicle.
If you have special road handling needs like improved cornering or towing or hauling requirements in Denver, your Express Car Care adviser can recommend an upgraded shock or strut to help with your specific needs.

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my car. It hasn’t been driving as smoothly as it should be. I didn’t know that it could be because of the suspension! I’ll be sure to have it repaired as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing!
