Shock Absorbers and Struts
What Is Suspension Steering?
Suspension steering refers to the integrated systems that connect your vehicle's wheels to its frame, allowing for precise control, smooth handling, and a comfortable ride. The suspension system absorbs shocks from road irregularities, while the steering system ensures accurate directional control. Together, these systems work in harmony to provide stability, reduce wear on tires, and improve overall driving performance.
A well-maintained suspension and steering system is essential for safety, comfort, and control, especially when driving on uneven or challenging terrains. At Perform-Ex Auto, we offer a wide range of high-quality components to keep your suspension and steering systems in optimal condition.
What Are Steering Shocks?
Steering shocks, also known as steering dampers, are specialized components designed to reduce unwanted vibrations, sudden jolts, or steering instability. They are particularly important for vehicles used in off-road conditions or those with larger tires, as these scenarios can increase steering feedback and make handling more difficult.
Steering shocks work by absorbing the energy from uneven road surfaces, preventing the steering wheel from jerking or vibrating excessively. This results in improved handling, reduced driver fatigue, and enhanced control over the vehicle.
At Perform-Ex Auto, we stock premium steering shocks to suit a variety of vehicles. Whether you're upgrading for off-road adventures or simply want smoother steering performance, our range has you covered. Explore our collection today and experience the difference in your vehicle's handling.
Stay in control with high-quality suspension and steering components from Perform-Ex Auto!

What Do Shock Absorbers Do?
The purpose of shock absorbers is to control spring and suspension movement by absorbing kinetic energy. Shock absorbers convert the kinetic energy generated by motion into heat, which is dissipated. The result is that they minimise oscillation and maintain tyre contact with the road, thereby reducing the bounce, roll, sway, and brake dive of your vehicle. It’s important to note that shocks are independent parts of a suspension system.
What Do Struts Do?
Like shock absorbers, struts perform a dampening function and control spring and suspension movement, improving handling and braking, and reducing body roll, bounce, break dive, and acceleration squat. However, unlike shock absorbers, struts are a structural part of your suspension system. As such, they also provide structural support for the suspension system and contribute to tyre alignment.
Do You Need Shocks or Struts?
A vehicle may have either shock absorbers or struts on each wheel, never both. Thus, whether you need shocks or struts will depend on the configuration of your car and shocks can’t replace struts or vice versa. However, you can have front shock absorbers and rear struts or any other combination. To know which parts fit your vehicle, choose the make and model of your car on the bar you see on the left and you will see whether it has shocks or struts.
