Shocks and Struts
"Shocks and struts are safety components that maintain vertical loads
placed upon the tires. They control spring and suspension movement to keep tires
in contact with the road.
Under normal conditions on a smooth road, shocks stroke on average 1,750 times for every mile traveled or 7.5 million stabilizing actions on average every 12,000 miles (20,000 kilometers). As a result, shocks and struts do wear out and should be checked every 12,000 miles/20,000 kilometers just to be safe.
Worn shocks and struts affect vehicle safety."
