Jeep Cherokee Shocks & Struts

The Jeep Cherokee is a reliable and highly capable vehicle for off-roading. But there are some obstacles that even this tough SUV cannot handle without breaking some suspension parts, namely shocks or struts. Struts and shocks perform roughly about the same functions while damping spring movements to stop suspension oscillations. Although they perform similar functions, struts and shocks are fairly different in their basic construction. A shock could never be utilized as the replacement for a strut, and vice versa. Any given vehicle can be outfitted with either shocks or struts on each one axle but never with both at once. All types of vehicle suspension were engineered to use either shocks or struts.

One of the main differences between shocks and struts is that struts are designed to be an integral part of the auto’s suspension, while shocks aren’t. Also, struts can be included in the auto’s steering system greatly affecting alignment angles. Caster and Camber angles are adjusted on the struts. If you’ve noticed leaks in your shocks or struts, replace them as soon as possible.
