Toyota Sequoia Shocks & Struts

A shock is short for shock absorber - a device engineered to convert mechanical energy into heat. Used in tandem with a spring, the shock controls its motion by getting rid of the surplus energy that appears when the spring compresses and then expands. Without the shock, the spring would keep repeating the cycle over and over again while compromising handling, comfort, and a bunch of other pretty important things in your vehicle. For that reason, shocks have to be in optimal condition. If they aren’t, replacements should be timely as it is your vehicle's ability to corner, accelerate, and stop that will be compromised.

What typically ruins a shock is straightforward wear. The liquid doing all the job impairs the sealing by applying tremendous pressure on it. Leaking shocks are pointless and can be considered dangerous in the case of the Toyota Sequoia. The substantial mass and high center of gravity of this SUV can easily transform body bounce into a serious trouble. The good news is that the problem is easy to troubleshoot - just have a look at each of the shocks; if you see fresh oily strains all over any of them, then the time has come to replace the affected part. In our Toyota Sequoia shocks & struts selection, you'll find OE-quality replacements at prices that won't hurt your budget as much as a visit to the dealer.
