Shock and Strut Replacement in Scarborough
Worn shocks add metres to your stopping distance. Replacing them brings back control, not just comfort.
Signs your vehicle needs this service
- The vehicle keeps bouncing after a bump
- Nose dives noticeably under braking
- Cupped or scalloped tire wear
- Oil residue visible on a strut body
- Rear sits low with modest cargo
What's included at CANPAK AUTO
- Inspection of shocks, struts, mounts and bump stops
- Replacement in pairs with new mounts where required
- Spring and dust boot inspection
- Ride height verification
- Wheel alignment after installation
Why this matters
Shocks control how quickly a tire settles back onto the pavement. When they are worn, the tire skips during braking on rough Scarborough pavement, which lengthens stops and wears tires unevenly.

Shock and Strut Replacement — questions we hear often
How long do struts last?
Many last 100,000–150,000 km, but potholes and heavy loads shorten that. Inspection is the reliable way to know.
Do I need new mounts too?
Often yes. A worn mount causes noise and poor alignment even with a new strut, so we quote it up front.
Front and rear at the same time?
Not required. We replace by axle and prioritize the worse end if budget matters.
