Strut & Shock Service & Replacement in Queens, NY
Professional Strut and Shock Service at Paragon Acura
Your Acura's suspension is engineered for performance, comfort, and control. But over time, the shocks and struts that absorb bumps and support handling begin to wear down. At Paragon Acura in Queens, NY, we specialize in strut and shock replacement, repair, and inspections to keep your ride smooth and responsive.
What Do Shocks and Struts Do?
Shocks and struts are essential components of your vehicle’s suspension system. They help absorb impacts from rough roads and maintain stability while braking, accelerating, or cornering. While shocks dampen movement, struts combine shock absorption with structural support. Together, they ensure your Acura handles safely and predictably.
Signs You May Need Shock or Strut Replacement
As these components wear, you may notice a decline in ride comfort or control. Look out for common warning signs, including:
- Excessive bouncing over bumps
- Nose diving during braking
- Uneven tire wear
- Leaking fluid near the wheels
- Clunking or creaking noises
- Poor cornering stability
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a suspension inspection at Paragon Acura. Ignoring worn shocks or struts can increase stopping distances and cause uneven wear on other parts.
Acura Suspension Service You Can Trust
Our Queens-based service team knows Acura suspension systems inside and out. Whether you need a full strut replacement, shock absorber service, or suspension diagnostics, we use Acura OEM parts to ensure a precise fit and factory-spec performance. Every repair is done with careful attention to ride quality and vehicle balance.
How Often Should You Replace Shocks and Struts?
Many manufacturers recommend replacing shocks and struts every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. In busy urban areas like Queens, where potholes and stop-and-go traffic are common, suspension components may wear faster. During each maintenance visit, our team will inspect your suspension for wear, leaks, or damage and help determine if it’s time for service.

FAQs About Shock and Strut Service
How do I know if I need new shocks or struts?
Common signs include bouncing after bumps, fluid leaks, uneven tire wear, and clunking sounds over rough roads. A full inspection can confirm whether replacement is needed.
What’s the difference between shocks and struts?
Shocks are hydraulic components that control motion, while struts integrate shocks with structural support. Most front-wheel-drive cars use struts up front and shocks in the rear.
Can worn shocks affect tire life?
Yes. Worn shocks and struts can cause tires to bounce excessively, leading to uneven wear and reduced traction. Replacing them can extend tire life and improve stability.
How long do Acura struts and shocks typically last?
They often last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on road conditions and driving style. We’ll check their condition at your regular service appointments.
Do you use OEM shocks and struts at Paragon Acura?
Yes. We use original Acura suspension components to ensure proper fit, ride quality, and durability that matches factory standards.
