Call (817) 652-2690What Are Struts? (Struts vs Shocks)
Struts are structural components that combine a shock absorber and spring into one unit. They support vehicle weight, absorb road impacts, and control body motion during acceleration, braking, and turning.
Unlike standalone shocks, struts are integral to the steering and suspension geometry. When struts wear out, you experience poor handling, longer stopping distances, excessive body roll, and accelerated tire wear.
At E1 Auto Care, strut replacement includes proper torque specifications and alignment afterward (strut replacement changes alignment angles). We also inspect related components like strut mounts, bearings, and springs that may need attention.

Our Strut Replacement Process
Road test to evaluate ride quality and handling
Visual inspection of struts for leaks, damage, or worn mounts
Bounce test to check strut damping function
Inspect springs, strut mounts, and bearings
We recommend replacing strut mounts and bearings at the same time as struts. These components wear together, and a new strut on a worn mount often causes noise or premature failure.
Expert Tip

Use spring compressor to safely disassemble strut assembly
Install new strut with new mounts/bearings (complete assembly)
Perform wheel alignment (required after strut replacement)
Test drive to verify ride quality and handling

Strut Replacement FAQ
How Much Does Strut Replacement Cost in Arlington, TX?
Strut replacement cost varies by vehicle and whether front, rear, or all four need replacement. We often recommend complete strut assemblies (strut + mount + spring pre-assembled) which are more cost-effective and ensure all worn components are replaced together. Price includes alignment, which is required after strut work. No surprises.
