Strut Assembly

Is driving over small humps or bumps on the road making your car bounce like a hyperactive child overdosed with sugar? Then there might be a problem with your suspension system. As you know, the suspension system has many parts, and one of those you need to focus on is your strut assembly.

The strut assembly dampens the up-and-down movement of your car's suspension spring, much like the shock absorbers. But unlike shock absorbers, strut assemblies are made up of more than just one part like the lower and upper spring seat, the isolated top mount (usually made from rubber), the coil spring, and the coil spring insulator. Aside from ensuring premium ride quality by keeping your travels as smooth and bounce-free as possible, strut assemblies also keep the different parts of your suspension system aligned and separate from each other.

Most cars with strut assemblies have one suspension strut at each wheel. When one of the components in the assembly fails, the entire strut has to be replaced. Common symptoms of a busted strut assembly include excessive auto bouncing and oil leakage. If you experience any of these symptoms, invest in replacement strut assemblies as soon as you can.
