Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between a shock and a strut?
Yes, shocks and struts perform similar functions but differ in design. A strut is a structural part of the vehicle's suspension system, while a shock is not.
Should I have my vehicle aligned after replacing my shocks or struts?
It is recommended to align your vehicle if you are replacing struts. However, aligning is not necessary when replacing shocks unless there was a previous issue.
Do I need different shocks for front, rear, left, or right applications?
Yes, it is important to choose the correct shocks for your specific vehicle model and year, as well as for the correct location.
What are the signs that my shocks may need replacement?
Signs of wear may include excessive bouncing, fluid leakage, and harsh ride quality. If you notice uneven tire wear or your vehicle sways while turning, it could be time to replace your shocks.

While specific DTCs were not provided, if your vehicle exhibits signs of suspension issues, it is advisable to inspect your shocks and struts, such as the ACDelco 13409599, and consult with a professional mechanic.
