Crossover Suspension Service
Most drivers assume taller is safer. But, the opposite is true when it comes to stability.
Don’t Back Down When Recommending Ride Control
Shocks, struts and springs do not operate independently.
Replacement Strut Alignment Angles
Earl MacPherson’s struts eliminated suspension complexity in one way but changed vehicle geometry in others.
Monotube Or Twin Tube, What Is The Best For The Application?
Most shocks and struts look the same. But inside, there can be significant differences.
Spring Replacement and Engineering
The specifications for the spring and strut are linked. When one component is worn, it impacts the other.
Ride Control Estimator

Shock and Strut Sales and Safety
It is difficult to calculate the value of the integrity of vehicle systems and components when it comes to safety.
Getting a New Perspective on Ride Control Sales
Don’t give up. Surveys have shown that 50% of ride control sales occur on the second visit.
