Why Replacing Control Arms and Bushings in Pairs is Necessary
Let’s focus on identifying when control arms need to be replaced, and why they should always be replaced in pairs.
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
Loaded or complete struts can be twice the price of a strut and upper mount.
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.
Ride Control Options
Under normal conditions on a smooth road, shocks and struts stroke an average of 1,750 times for every mile traveled.
Fixing A Steering-Pull Condition
The most important thing to remember is that as the suspension compresses, the alignment angles change.
Air Ride: 1997-2011 Crown Vic
All air ride-equipped Crown Vics have a switch in the trunk on the left to deactivate the air ride system.
