JRG Industrial Diesel: Buy Suspension System Auto Parts
Your car or trucks "ride and handling" are controlled by your suspension system. Fast but safe acceleration, braking, and cornering are important qualities in any vehicle. But conquering Ferriday's potholes and gravel while holding the road and cornering takes a toll on your shocks or struts. When it's time to replace your shocks or struts give us a call at 318-421-4445.

A shock and a strut do the same basic job on a vehicle, damping the movement of the spring to create the feeling of an even ride. However, shocks and struts are completely different parts. Call us at 318-421-4445 or come by at 458 Deacon Wailes Rd to find out if your car or truck needs shocks or struts. In most cases, a car or truck will have either a shock or a strut for each wheel but never both. There are a few vehicle types that have struts on the front axle and shocks on the rear.
What's the difference in a Shock vs a Strut?
Struts
A strut is a built-in part of the vehicle's suspension system whereas a shock is an added component. A strut is an integral part of the steering system. The camber and caster angles are specific to the strut itself. Your struts are the pivot point for the car or trucks steering system and require correct alignment when replaced.
Shocks
Your shock absorber controls unwanted "bumps" by dampening their impact on the suspension's springs and pistons through the use of hydraulic fluid. The spring sits on top of or around your shock absorber.
Your shock absorber is essentially just a double-walled tube filled with hydraulic fluid. When your car hits a "bump" your suspension springs transfer the energy of the bump to the shock absorber. The shock absorber moves a small amount of fluid from the inner tube to the outer tube, slowing down the piston to minimize a "bump".

Excellent service. Stands behind their work after the sale
Honest ServiceI would like to say as a female, it's hard at times to be heard and understood as well as taken seriously as a woman, when talking about what noise your vehicle may be making. Normally as we try to describe what sound we hear it makes, for instance when I turn the steering wheel it goes clink clink clink clink, most shops look at you as if we are ignorant, but this place is far from that. They respect all, and will NOT screw you over. I like that fact it's self owned as well, and they work not only as a team but as a family. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it, to everyone.
