Get the Best Priced Jeep Commander Struts

A failed strut won't provide adequate support for your vehicle and it will be hard to handle when driving. You might not know exactly why a strut fails. It can be just due to wear and age. When it does fail, you'll know it and be left with few options but to replace the part. Delaying repairs can put a strain on the rest of the suspension system and your vehicle's wheels, so you may require more expensive service if bad struts are not replaced in time. In extreme cases, you can even lose control of the vehicle and crash.

Signs of Worn Struts

Your Jeep Commander will be noisy if the struts wear out. There's no specific time frame for needing replacement parts. The 2007 Jeep Commander struts and shocks will be good until they are not, and you will hear and feel it. It might not be for 50,000 miles or more. A worn strut or mount can cause a lot of banging and knocking sounds. You'll probably also find yourself bouncing around a lot in the seat. Excessive tire wear and piston fluid leaks are common with bad struts as well. If the Jeep shifts from side to side on the road, a failing strut can affect the tires, brakes, and the overall handling of the vehicle. A symptom of wear in the Jeep Commander front shocks is if the vehicle noses downward when the brake pedal is pushed. On the other hand, bad rear shocks can cause squatting during acceleration.

What Is the Strut Assembly?

A strut assembly consists of a shock absorber and coil spring that supports the vehicle. Together, these parts absorb the impacts and up and down motions from the bumps, irregular roads, and potholes you drive over. Since the suspension system allows for the wheels to move when you turn, bad struts can have detrimental impacts to steering. A shock absorber stops up and down bouncing, and the spring dampens the vibrations while supporting the vehicle's weight. The best shocks for Jeep Commander vehicles have a design that efficiently dampens noise and vibrations on the road.

Do Car Shocks Leak?

The shock absorber of a strut can leak oil or hydraulic fluid. Small amounts aren't much of a problem. If the part is covered in oil, then the piston's movement won't be dampened and there won't be enough fluid inside to absorb the energy and heat generated by the vertical motion.

Recall

Suspension systems for 2006 vehicles were recalled in 2009. Aftermarket parts from Rock Krawler were fit with carriage bolts of the wrong grade. This limited clamping force for bottom strut forks.
