What do I need to know about shocks and struts?

Shocks and struts are the bits of your car that keep you from scraping the the bottom of your car on the road but also make it so you don't feel every little bump.

Since winter is the time of frost heaves and infinite potholes, it's a good idea to check that shocks and struts are in top condition during the winter months.
