Shocks and Struts for Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner is a mid-sized sport utility vehicle sold since 1984. The SUVs suspension system helps to keep it safe and the ride comfortable as it travels over bumps, potholes, rough roads, and other hazards. You can find an array of shocks, struts, and other replacement parts for the 4Runners suspension system to keep the 4Runner going smoothly and safely.

What are springs, shocks, and struts?

The shocks, struts, and springs make up the suspension system for the Toyota 4Runner; this system keeps the SUV running safely and avoids damages caused by uneven paving, potholes, and other roadway issues. It also helps to control bouncing and swaying and maintain a comfortable ride for drivers and passengers. The shock absorbers and other parts help to keep the underside, brakes, tires, and other vehicle components safe and protected when traveling over different roadway hazards. Some key components of this system are:

  • Springs: Coil springs are constructed from steel and wound into a spiral shape. These allow the 4Runner to move and bounce around potholes, bumps, and uneven roadways, rather than experiencing jarring impacts. They work together with struts and shocks to keep your 4Runner comfortable and safe on the road.
  • Shocks: Shock absorbers dampen the effects of uneven roads, rough spots, potholes, and other road obstacles on your 4Runner. Using hydraulic fluid and pistons to manage the energy created by the road, shock absorbers keep the vehicle from swaying, bouncing, and rolling.
  • Struts: These are a structural part of the suspension of your 4Runner. These mount to the vehicle chassis and directly to the coil springs to keep the springs firmly in place. Like shock absorbers, these use hydraulic fluid to manage the vehicles response to bumps and other obstacles and keep the ride smooth.
When should you replace Toyota 4Runner shocks and struts?

Shocks and struts get a lot of use and wear, as they absorb all of the bumps and problems of the roadway. Years of driving on uneven, bumpy roads add up, and shock absorbers and struts need regular inspection and replacement. You should get the suspension inspected at least every 50,000 miles to ensure your shock absorbers and struts are in good condition. When it is time for a replacement, you should replace the front pair or rear pair simultaneously, or you can replace both pairs. Some signs that can indicate that your struts and shocks need replacement include:

  • Bouncing: Excessive bouncing in your 4Runner after hitting potholes or driving on a bumpy road can indicate that you have worn shocks and struts that need replacement.
  • Rear or front-end dipping: When your Toyota SUV dives at the front while braking or dips at the rear while accelerating, this can indicate worn out suspension parts. You can also feel excessive dipping when turning if your shocks and struts need replacement.
  • Leaking fluids: Shock absorbers and struts use hydraulic fluid to manage energy. If they appear oily or leave puddles of fluid, they may need to be replaced.
