Shocks and Struts for Controlled Vehicle Movement
Shocks and struts manage how a vehicle reacts to motion created by everyday driving. They operate constantly, even on smooth pavement, to control spring movement. At Douglas INFINITI, gradual wear in these parts is commonly explained to drivers during inspections. Their condition can change subtly over time.
How Shocks and Struts Function
These components are part of the shocks and struts system and are designed to dampen motion from coil springs. Struts also serve as a structural mounting point on many vehicles. Models like the INFINITI QX50 and INFINITI Q70 rely on precise damping characteristics.
Common Causes of Wear
Internal seals and valves wear through constant movement and exposure to temperature changes. Fluid breakdown may reduce damping ability, especially as mileage accumulates.
Replacement Considerations
Genuine INFINITI shocks and struts are intended to match factory ride characteristics. Generic options may differ in response, which can influence related components such as coil springs. Installation requirements may vary. Professional installation or consultation with a qualified technician is recommended. Douglas INFINITI supports accurate OEM part selection.
