FAQ

What should the shop show me before I approve work?

The play. Car in the air, hands on the wheel at the top and bottom for a ball joint, side to side for a tie rod, a pry bar under a control arm. Worn parts move and good ones do not, and you can see the difference without knowing anything about cars. Photos are fine. Vague talk about it being tired is not.

Complete strut assembly or just the shock?

A complete assembly comes with the spring and mount already fitted, so the job is faster and nobody has to compress a spring. It costs more in parts and less in labor, and it replaces the mount and bearing that were probably worn anyway. A bare shock makes sense when the spring and mount are genuinely sound.

Can worn suspension fail an inspection?

In states that run a safety inspection, yes. Play in a ball joint or tie rod, a leaking shock, a broken spring and a torn boot are all common write-ups. Even where no inspection exists, the same wear is quietly costing you tires, so the repair pays for itself either way.
