Shocks used to be the preferred method for dampening spring oscillation in vehicle suspension, but many manufacturers are either including struts or replacing shocks with struts. Chevy Malibu struts perform the same functions as shocks, but they also offer additional vehicle weight support that shocks cannot provide. Basically, Malibu struts are a sturdy type of shock absorber that you will find mounted inside your coil springs.

When your vehicle passes over road imperfections, your struts serve to dampen spring motion so your car does not bounce down the road. Healthy Chevy Malibu struts provide you with a smooth ride and good vehicle control.

However, if your Malibu struts are worn or damaged, you are going to experience discomfort and may be putting yourself at risk when you drive, since you can lose control of your vehicle when your spring oscillation is not stopped. You should inspect your struts on a periodic basis for signs of visual damage, particularly when you notice differences in your ride such as excessive bouncing, rolling, or swaying. Check your Chevy Malibu struts for signs of leaks or dents on the housing or the body of the struts themselves. Also, look for pitted piston rods, crushed rubber bumpers that indicate bottoming out on bumps, worn rubber mountings, or uneven tire tread wear. If these signs are present, you may need to replace your Malibu struts.
