AdjustableNo
Signs Of Wear &#38; Troubleshooting - Section 3 - HeaderUneven patches of wear on the edges of your tire can be a sign of weak ride control (shocks or struts). This wear, called cupping, appears as scalloped dips around the surface of the tread. Other signs it could be time to replace your shocks or struts include:

Good Maintenance Practices - Section 2 - HeaderYour vehicle's shocks and struts slowly deteriorate over time, though this wear is normally difficult to detect. To maximize your vehicle's ride comfort and safety, it is recommended to replace your vehicle's shocks and struts every 50,000 miles, or every 80,467 kilometers. Worn shocks and struts can also cause additional wear to other vehicle components. Affected components include:
Signs Of Wear &#38; Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 1There is directional and steering wheel position instability
Signs Of Wear &#38; Troubleshooting - Section 1 - HeaderSigns of wear for premium gas charged struts include but are not limited to:
Faq - Answer 6Yes, if you are replacing your vehicle's struts. However, it is not necessary to get your vehicle aligned when replacing your vehicle's shocks unless there was or is a previous issue.
Faq - Answer 5Yes, it is possible to do a quick check at home for wear on your vehicle's shocks or struts. You can look for any physical damage to the shock or strut housing or any leaking - this is especially common on rear units that tend to have stones kicked up by the front wheels. You can also perform a bounce test by taking each corner of the vehicle and pushing down hard. The corner should drop, rise and settle again. If the body continues to move up and down, there's a good chance your shocks need to be replaced. Though these home tests can indicate worn shocks or struts, it is also recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified service technician and let them do a thorough inspection every 12 months or 12,000 miles (19312.128 kilometers).
Faq - Answer 4Yes, it is important to choose the correct shock or strut for your vehicle model and year, as well as for the location in the vehicle.
Faq - Answer 3Yes, all shocks and struts use hydraulic fluid (oil) to control damping. A gas charged shock or strut uses high-pressure nitrogen gas to reduce oil foaming during high-speed damping, and therefore maintains performance.
Faq - Answer 2Yes, though shocks and struts perform a similar function, they vary greatly in their design. Struts are an integral part of a vehicle's suspension system, providing structural support for the vehicle and, as such, are a safety subsystem. Shocks work separately from any structural function, simply absorbing and damping the bumps from the road.
Faq - Answer 1Yes. Always consult the Vehicle Owner's Manual or an expert technician before making any repairs or adjustments.
