How bad or worn struts are a safety hazard!

Bad struts can significantly increase your stopping distance, making them a potential safety hazard. Here's how:

Reduced Tire Contact: Worn struts lose their ability to maintain firm contact between the tires and the road. This bouncing allows the tires to lose grip during braking, especially on uneven surfaces or during hard stops.

Weight Transfer Issues: During braking, weight shifts forward, pressing down on the front tires. Faulty struts impair this weight transfer, reducing the pressure on the front tires and consequently their braking efficiency. This can lead to:

Expected Remaining Life of the Vehicle:

Turbochargers

Turbochargers, also known as turbos, are devices that increase the power output of an internal combustion engine by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. This is done by using the exhaust gases from the engine to spin a turbine, which in turn spins a compressor that forces more air into the engine.
