Shocks & Struts Repair Addison, TX

Suspension, Shocks & Struts Repair in Addison, TX

A smooth, safe ride depends on your vehicle’s suspension system — and your shocks and struts are a major part of that system. At Eagle Transmission and Auto Care of Addison, we inspect, repair, and replace shocks, struts, and other suspension components to restore stability, comfort, and control to your drive.

If your vehicle feels bouncy, leans in turns, or nose-dives when braking, it’s time to have your suspension checked. Our team of certified technicians will pinpoint the issue and make the necessary repairs — all in-house and with no pressure.

What Do Shocks & Struts Do?

Shocks and struts work with your springs and suspension arms to:

Keep your tires in contact with the road
Absorb bumps, dips, and uneven pavement
Control the movement of your vehicle during braking and turning
Prevent excessive bouncing, swaying, or dipping
Improve ride comfort and handling

Not all vehicles have both shocks and struts — some have one or the other. Regardless of the setup, they need to be in good condition to ensure safe handling and braking.

Signs Your Shocks or Struts Are Worn

Worn or damaged suspension components often cause noticeable changes in how your vehicle drives. Common symptoms include:

Excessive bouncing over bumps
Uneven tire wear
Nose-diving when braking
Swaying or rolling in turns
Vehicle feels unstable at highway speeds
Fluid leaking from shocks or struts
Knocking or clunking sounds when driving over rough roads

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a suspension inspection.

How We Diagnose Suspension Issues

Our Addison shop offers full suspension diagnostics, including:

Road test to evaluate ride feel and handling
Visual inspection of shocks, struts, mounts, and bushings
Checking for leaks, damage, and wear
Measuring ride height and spring compression
Reviewing tire wear patterns for alignment issues

We’ll explain our findings clearly and give you a printed estimate before starting any work.

Our Suspension Repair Services

Depending on your vehicle and the issue, we may recommend:

Replacing shocks or struts (individually or in pairs)
Installing new strut mounts or bearings
Replacing coil springs or leaf springs
Repairing ball joints, sway bar links, or bushings
Realigning wheels after suspension repair
Lubricating suspension pivot points

We use high-quality OEM or OE-equivalent parts to ensure long-term performance and a quiet, smooth ride.

How Often Should Shocks & Struts Be Replaced?

Most shocks and struts last between 50,000 to 100,000 miles, but your exact interval depends on:

Driving conditions (rough roads wear them out faster)
Load capacity and towing habits
How often you drive and how aggressively
Manufacturer recommendations

If your vehicle has more than 60,000 miles and you’ve never replaced them, it’s a good idea to have them inspected — even if you don’t notice obvious symptoms yet.

Ride Comfort vs. Safety

While many people think of shocks and struts as comfort features, they actually play a big role in vehicle safety:

Help maintain proper tire contact with the road
Prevent uneven braking or swerving
Improve emergency maneuver stability
Protect other components from excess vibration and wear

Replacing worn shocks improves how your car handles in real-world driving, especially during rain, emergency stops, or sudden lane changes.

Cars, trucks, and SUVs
