How long do shocks and struts last on a car?
Many manufacturers of original factory struts confirm that their products are less effective once they reach the 50,000 – 60,000 mile mark. There are exceptions, however, that alter performance and greatly reduce mileage based on travel on conditions including frequent travel over rough terrain or exposure to excessive heat. At Greulichs, we have seen shocks and struts that have required replacement as few as 30,000 miles.
Does a car need an alignment after replacing struts?
Vehicles that have received a new set of struts will require an alignment once installation is complete. Because most struts are connected to the suspension components that have the alignment adjustment built right into them, even the slightest variance can cause premature tire wear, pulling, or a crooked steering wheel. Vehicles that use shock assemblies will not typically require an alignment once installation is complete, unless steering components were otherwise moved or affected to perform the replacement.
