OEM Toyota Shocks And Struts

The shocks and struts on your Toyota vehicle help it remain stable no matter the road conditions, or lack thereof. They do this by regulating the activity of the coil springs in the suspension system. That helps keep your wheels aligned and your tires on the road. The result? Reliable handling and braking, with minimal body roll on turns and curves.

The Difference Between Shocks and Struts

While they serve the same purpose, shocks and struts are completely different parts and are not interchangeable. Struts are integrated parts of the suspension and steering system, while shocks are independent. That means that when you replace your struts, you also need to be sure to align the vehicle.

How to Spot Failing Shocks or Struts

Unfortunately, shocks and struts can go bad, especially if you drive in rough conditions. Signs of problems include:

• A rougher ride quality than usual
• Your vehicle pulls to one side during turns
• You notice your tire treads are unevenly worn
• Your vehicle leans too far forward when you're stopping
• There's a film of grease or oil on the parts
