Shocks and Struts Service Video

A vehicle that continues to bounce following a minor impact could be suffering from worn-out shock absorbers or struts. You may also feel the front end dip when you brake. The body may lean more than normal when you turn.

Shocks and struts help control the suspension, keep the tires on the road, and make the ride feel steady. Worn shocks or struts can cause bouncing, nose-diving, uneven tire wear, poor ride control, or a loose feeling while driving.

Springfield roads can be hard on suspension parts. Potholes, rough pavement, and freeze-thaw damage around I-70, US-40, and Route 68 can add stress to shocks, struts, tires, and strut mounts.

At Zima Automotive, we do not judge the ride by one bounce. We inspect shocks, struts, tires, mounts, bushings, and other suspension parts. Our digital inspection team determines which items are worn and which are still in good condition.

This is relevant for everyday commuters, fleet vehicles, family-sized SUVs, and vehicles imported from Europe in Clark County. Drivers from Urbana and Mechanicsburg may visit our Springfield shop when the ride feels rough or the car feels unstable. If your car bounces, leans, or feels loose, call Zima Automotive at (937) 342-3911.

If your car needs a check, ask about our shocks and struts repair service. A Springfield car care center can inspect worn shocks or struts before they lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, or a rough ride.
