Is your ride not as smooth as it once was? It is probably time to check your Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks. Under normal driving conditions, shocks wear out gradually, but they will wear out more quickly if you drive on muddy, rough terrain frequently. There are several indicators to help you to determine the shape your shocks are in.

When you cross a dip do you experience three or more bounces? When you need to stop quickly, do you rock back and forth several times? Do you rock and sway from side to side during a quick lane change? On a tight curve, does your vehicle lean and sway making you feel uneasy and disconnected? Any of these situations could mean it is time to replace your shocks. Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks not only smooth out your ride, but also influence the control and handling of your vehicle.

They keep bouncing to a minimum while traveling down the road. They control spring action to avoid bottoming out as well as keep spring movement under control when they reload. There are two basic types of Jeep Grand Cherokee shocks. Hydraulic shocks work by providing resistance by forcing hydraulic fluid through the valves in the piston as it moves up and down. High performance struts, sometimes called gas struts, give even better performance because the air inside is replaced with nitrogen. This gas prevents air bubbles from forming and quickens response time and increases the comfort t and control of your vehicle.
