What Is A Loaded Shock Absorber?

Updated: Apr 22

The role of struts in your vehicle is to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. However, when they wear out, you may experience a rougher ride and increased vibrations. Repairing suspension components can be daunting, but GSP simplifies the process with top-notch loaded struts.

What Is A Loaded Shock Absorber?

In this article, we will delve into what loaded struts are, highlight the signs of a failing strut, and provide insights into the cost of replacing struts in your vehicle.


What Is A Loaded Strut?

Loaded strut assemblies, also known as complete strut assemblies, come pre-assembled and ready for installation. Unlike traditional struts, they eliminate the need to transfer the spring from the old strut, which can be a potentially dangerous and challenging process. Compressing coil springs is best left to professionals due to safety concerns. With loaded struts, even those with limited experience can confidently undertake a strut replacement. These assemblies simplify the installation process, making it accessible to DIY enthusiasts of all skill levels. Enjoy the convenience and ease of replacing your struts with loaded strut assemblies.


What Are The Symptoms Of A Failing Strut?

The signs of a failing strut become apparent while driving your vehicle at different speeds. As the primary role of struts is to ensure a comfortable ride and absorb road bumps and vibrations, their deterioration affects overall performance. When a strut starts failing, you may observe one or more of the following symptoms:


  • Knocking Noises When Driving Over Bumps

  • Car Leans To One Side

  • Ticking Or Popping Noise When Turning

  • Suspension Is Bouncier Than Usual

  • Car Feels Unstable While Driving

  • Tires Are Wearing Unevenly


These symptoms apply to several other suspension components, so have a mechanic verify that your shocks are the issue.
