Chassis
The chassis serves as the internal framework of your vehicle, providing support for various components such as the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weakened or damaged chassis can lead to a weaker vehicle overall.
Differential Flush
The differential is a critical vehicle component that compensates for variations in travel distance between the inner and outer wheels during turns. Typically located at the rear and under non-four-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles, differentials often do not receive the same level of attention as engines. However, it is essential to understand that differential failure equates to vehicle failure.
Differentials
Differentials serve as the components responsible for transmitting engine power to the wheels. A key function of the differential is to distribute power to the wheels while permitting them to rotate at varying speeds, thus earning its name.
Driveline
The driveline represents a vehicle section that connects the engine and transmission to the wheel axles. This component consists of powertrain parts excluding the engine and transmission. A driveline failure translates to an immobilized vehicle, as energy cannot be transmitted from the engine to the wheel axles.
Shock Absorbers
Shocks, or shock absorbers, are mechanical devices engineered to smooth out rough road surfaces. They achieve this by converting kinetic energy into another form of energy. Properly functioning shocks minimize the impact of traveling over uneven terrain, leading to an improved ride quality and enhanced vehicle handling.
Struts
Much like shock absorbers (shocks), struts serve to dampen the effects of road surfaces as you drive. By absorbing road shocks, struts enable passengers to experience a smoother ride. Struts differ from shocks in that they provide structural support for your vehicle's suspension.

Suspension FAQs
What happens if I only replace one strut or shock?
Replacing only one shock or strut can create uneven handling when changing lanes, turning, or driving over bumps because each side may respond differently. In most cases, Marty's Automotive recommends replacing shocks or struts in pairs on the same axle for balanced handling and performance.
Are shocks difficult to replace?
Shock replacement can be straightforward, but some vehicles require additional components to be removed or serviced during the repair. Bring your vehicle to Marty's Automotive in Aurora, and our professionals can inspect the suspension and determine what is needed.
How often should shocks be replaced?
Shocks may need replacement around 50,000 to 100,000 miles, although driving habits and rough road conditions can cause them to wear more quickly. If you notice poor handling, excessive bouncing, difficulty making smooth turns, or reduced ride comfort, have the professionals at Marty's Automotive inspect your shocks.
Are struts difficult to replace?
Strut replacement requires proper tools and installation procedures, so it is generally best handled by a professional. After replacing front struts, Marty's Automotive can also check the vehicle's alignment to help ensure proper handling and even tire wear.

I went here in May of 2022 for a few issues with my suspension, serpentine belt, and brakes. Mary at the front desk was awesome, and updated me very quickly throughout the day after dropping my car off to let me know of additional issues with the suspension they found. I was expecting the repair to take the better part of a week, they had it all done within less than 24 hours! Great service, car now drives like I just purchased it new. I highly recommend Marty's for complex mechanic work.

We have several vehicles in our household. All of them go to Marty’s for maintenance and repair. Mary is awesome to work with when we drop off, pay, and pick up. She really knows the business and is on top of everything. Luiz and his team know cars. From Chevy, Sonic, to Jaguars, Porsches, and everything in between, this team can fix anything on time and at a fair price. They also do restoration work and they are damn good at it. I wish that I could recommend Marty’s a thousand times but you get the picture. Terry Wellman, 10/01/2026 |
