Chevy Impala Shock & Strut Mounts

While the design of springs differs depending on the generation, weight, price, and purpose of the vehicle, the design of a shock & strut assembly basically remains the same. It’s a telescopic structure that limits vertical motion of the suspension while absorbing shocks and transforming their energy into heat. They differ only in their dimensions and the amount of energy that the component can safely deal with. However, whereas the principal scheme of shocks and struts differs slightly, the mounts they employ are quite diverse.

Which type of equipment is used by your Chevy Impala depends on its generation and the position of the strut in question (front and rear suspension assemblies differ). As a part of the vehicle suspension system, the shock and strut assembly and its supports work under enormous loads gradually affecting their condition. Whereas the necessity to replace shocks is typically dictated by leaks of the fluid inside appearing as a result of their wear, problems with mounts normally come after overload – the “bottoming” of the suspension. In our Chevy Impala shock & strut mounts & hardware collection, you can find everything that you may need to address these issues.
