Why Hickory drivers book mobile shocks & struts
Hickory is the biggest city on our western edge, and I-40 makes it an easy run. We cover Viewmont, Mountain View, the airport area, and everything along US-70 and US-321. We've done plenty of shocks & struts jobs in this part of Catawba County, and the process is the same everywhere: confirm the problem, quote it, fix it, and clean up.
What's included
Worn shocks and struts don't just make the ride bouncy — they add stopping distance and wear your tires unevenly. If the car nose-dives under braking, keeps bouncing after a bump, or you see oil on the strut body, it's time. We replace them in pairs with quick-strut assemblies where available, which means no spring compressor risk and a fresh mount and bearing.
- Bounce test and inspect for leaks, bushings, and mount wear
- Replace shocks or complete strut assemblies in pairs
- Inspect sway bar links and control arm bushings while there
- Torque to spec with the suspension loaded
- Recommend an alignment after strut replacement
Signs it's time
- Bouncing after bumps
- Nose-dive when braking
- Clunking over rough roads
- Oil leaking on the shock or strut
- Cupped or scalloped tire wear
- More than 80,000 miles on the originals
