A book or story that is currently contemporary would be aware that Bush is president, that people are dying in a war in Iraq that has been going on for some time and that American Idol is influencing music being played on CD's or by downloads.
But just how long can your expect these tailbone-saving gadgets to last? The short answer? Experts recommend replacing shocks every 50,000 miles (80,467 kilometers), but a great deal depends on how you treat your vehicle's suspension. Are you logging all those miles on the placid interstate, or are you off-roading on winding dirt roads through the untamed wild?
The strut assembly, an essential part of your car's suspension system, is attached to the front wheels and is used to absorb road shock, providing a smooth ride. Most cars made after 1995 have shock absorbers in the rear and strut assemblies in the front suspension.t is a good idea to replace the strut assemblies every 35,000 miles. You can easily find out if you need new struts by doing a bounce test. Go to the front corner of your car and push down on the front of the car. If your car bounces up and down a few times, it is time to change the strut assembly.
