Customer Questions

Is It OK To Drive With Bad Struts?

Driving with bad struts is unsafe. Car bounces while driving. Replace them immediately. Shop struts on PartsHawk.com.

How Can I Tell If My Struts Need To Be Replaced?

If your car bounces excessively, experiences poor handling, or has uneven tire wear, you may have bad struts. Check for signs of bad struts like nose dive during braking. Shop for replacement shocks and struts on PartsHawk.com.

What Do Your Struts Do?

Car struts are essential for smooth driving. They support the weight of the vehicle, dampen shocks, and provide stability. Replace worn out struts on a car with quality products from PartsHawk.com.

What Do Your Shocks Do?

Car shocks absorb impact from bumps and uneven road surfaces, improving ride comfort and handling. It's recommended to replace shocks every 50,000 miles for optimal performance. Shop shocks for your car at PartsHawk.com.
