Shocks and Struts

Results of worn shocks include:

• Worn shocks may no longer keep the wheels on the ground, compromising road holding and handling
• The car may sway dangerously on tight bends and turns
• Braking distance may increase by up to 8.5 ft.
• Reduced efficiency of car headlights during heavy braking
• A front-wheel-drive vehicle driving in wet conditions may hydroplane at a lower speed than vehicles with newer shocks

Why buy pairs?

Unmatched shock absorbers can worsen the ride and handling problems, making control of the vehicle difficult. Pep Boys carries a full line of shocks or struts for your vehicle from Monroe. New Monroe shocks and struts provide:

• Improved ride
• Improved handling during emergency lane changes and situations requiring increased control
• Superior control on rough roads
• Increased control during panic stops
• Greater stability with heavy loads

• Tires

• Shocks and struts
• Springs
• Tie rod ends
• Ball joints
• Other suspension and chassis parts
