Q: I’ve heard that you can tell whether shocks need to be replaced by pushing down on the front and rear bumpers. If the car takes more than a second or two to stop bouncing, you need new shocks. Is this true? – Melissa
A: Dear Melissa,

Modern auto suspensions are engineered and manufactured to close tolerances and are a part of a complex and interrelated system with steering and wheel alignment. Your neighborhood Tire Pros is your headquarters for expert inspections and repairs.
