Should I replace all 4 shocks at the same time?
At the very least, get your car suspension checked once a year. Shocks and struts should always be replaced in pairs (front axle or rear axle), and it’s even better to replace the shocks/struts on all four wheels at one time. This helps maintain reliable handling and a consistent response on both sides of the vehicle.

Does my car have struts shocks or both?
Does My Vehicle Have Shocks or Struts? Every wheel on your vehicle has either a shock or strut. However, your vehicle could have shocks on the front and struts on the back or some other configuration. The key takeaway is that each wheel has some sort of ride control part.
What sound does a bad strut make?
Bad struts can make a clunking noise, but clunking noises can also be caused by many other things, typically – loose / damaged suspension parts.
What happens if I don’t replace shocks struts?
Over time, shocks and struts can lose their ability to control weight transfer; this is what causes you to feel like you’re not in control of your vehicle. This can be dangerous, especially if your tires lose contact with the pavement, making it difficult to control your vehicle in an emergency situation.
How can you tell the difference between shocks and struts?
If your vehicle has shocks, you will likely find them mounted vertically behind the tires. In many cases, shocks will look like a spring or pump. Struts, on the other hand, are usually mounted horizontally and will appear as an extension of the wheel.
When replacing struts what else should be replaced?
As others have said, if your struts need replacing, it is likely that most of the rotating components of the suspension are suspect. That includes sway bar mounts, bushings and links, control arm bushings, tie rod ends, lower ball joints, etc…
Should I replace the struts or just the shock?
Finally, replace your struts and shocks in pairs
Shocks and struts should always be replaced in pairs or, better yet, all four, for even, predictable handling and control. After all, all four have been on the vehicle for the same number of miles and worked under the same conditions.
