Suspension

Achieving a Safe and Stable Ride with Your Suspension System

The suspension system on your car works with the steering components as well as the shocks and struts to provide a safe, stable ride that has minimal bumps, swaying, and leaning as you drive from point A to point B. You’ll know your suspension system needs attention if your ride suddenly seems bumpy or loud, or if you are noticing sluggish steering.

Comprehensive Inspection Services for Your Car’s Suspension

Our services include an inspection of all components, including power steering, rack and pinion parts, as well as tie rods, sway bar, bushings and ball joints. We will also inspect tire wear and wheel alignment to ensure you are getting the best ride possible. We provide shock and strut repair, front and rear suspension repair, and wheel alignment services, as well as checking all front-end parts.

The Integral Role of Shocks, Struts, and Steering in Suspension Performance

Because these systems work together and are critical in the handling of your car, we recommend regular inspections and servicing of all parts of your steering and suspension.

Essential Maintenance Tips for Optimal Suspension Health

• Refer to your owner’s manual for servicing recommendations for steering and suspension components.
• Replace shocks/struts every 50,000 miles.
• Check your power steering fluid for leaks and grit. Fluid should be clean and leaks should be repaired immediately.
• Call our experts to inspect excessive bouncing, squeaky springs, and leaning, as these could indicate a suspension problem.
• Schedule a wheel alignment if you have been in an accident or hit a pothole, and any time you have suspension or front-end work done to maintain even tire wear.
