Steering and Suspension repair and services

When you are on the road, the steering and suspension system of your vehicle is what helps you stay in control. The entire weight of your vehicle is carried by your shocks and steering system. Additionally, the steering system assists in providing a safer and smoother ride and keeps your tires on the road while driving.

You should inspect your steering and suspension system at least once a year or more, depending on your driving conditions. When you notice the first warning signs of a faulty steering and suspension system, you should pay a visit to our auto repair shop. Our expert technicians will diagnose the problem and fix it in no time. If you don't attend to these problems early, this may result in serious safety threats in the future.

Common warning signs that indicate you need to have your steering and suspension system inspected by our technicians include:

  • Tires shake or wander
  • Problems while driving on uneven roadways or dips
  • Having difficulties when steering
  • Steering seems to be slipping
  • Vehicle is still bouncing after going over a bump
  • Pulling to the side

Our certified technicians can examine all of your steering and suspension components in order to make sure that your steering and shocks are operating properly, and will also inspect:

  • Uneven wear or tires
  • Alignment issues
  • Power steering fluid
  • Steering wheel alignment
  • Out of balance tires
  • Impacts or Struts
  • Tightness of bolts and nuts
  • Used or loose power steering belts

Steering and Suspension are two separate components of your vehicle that work together to keep your vehicle under control. These components are responsible for stable road control, drivability, and handling. Over time, these parts may have what we call “wear”, which means what it sounds like, parts wear out. Many parts in steering and suspension must move, similar to elbow joints in your body. If the joints are dried out, you may hear creaking and popping. Wear can also cause “slop” in your steering. Steering and suspension part failures are serious and can lead to other issues, like wearing tires unevenly or worse, causing loss of control of the vehicle. Front end inspections can pinpoint any current or upcoming issues as part of a preventive maintenance plan.

  • Ball joints
  • Axle assemblies
  • Tie rod ends/sway bars
  • Struts/shocks

Our expert technicians will also inspect your wheel balance and tire to see whether the problems are tire-related or not.
