Chassis
The chassis serves as the internal framework of your vehicle, providing support for various components such as the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weakened or damaged chassis can lead to a weaker vehicle overall.
Struts
Much like shock absorbers (shocks), struts serve to dampen the effects of road surfaces as you drive. By absorbing road shocks, struts enable passengers to experience a smoother ride. Struts differ from shocks in that they provide structural support for your vehicle's suspension.

Suspension FAQs
What happens if I only replace one strut or shock?
Replacing only one shock or strut can create uneven handling when changing lanes, turning, or driving over bumps because each side may respond differently. In most cases, Rick's Radiator & Heater recommends replacing shocks or struts in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling and performance.
Are shocks difficult to replace?
Shock replacement can be straightforward, but some vehicles require additional components to be removed or serviced during the repair. Bring your vehicle to Rick's Radiator & Heater in South Sioux City, and our professionals can inspect the suspension and determine what is needed.
How often should shocks be replaced?
Shocks may need replacement around 50,000 to 100,000 miles, although driving habits and rough road conditions can cause them to wear more quickly. If you notice poor handling, excessive bouncing, difficulty making smooth turns, or reduced ride comfort, have the professionals at Rick's Radiator & Heater inspect your shocks.
Are struts difficult to replace?
Strut replacement requires proper tools and installation procedures, so it is generally best handled by a professional. After replacing front struts, Rick's Radiator & Heater can also check the vehicle's alignment to help ensure proper handling and even tire wear.
