Your steering and suspension keep the tires planted and the car pointed where you want it. When something wears out, you usually feel it: a clunk over a bump, a loose steering wheel, or a car that wanders. Call us and our ASE-certified technicians will track down the cause.
Signs of a steering or suspension problem
- Clunking or knocking over bumps
- A bouncy or floaty ride
- The car pulling or drifting to one side
- A loose steering wheel or one that sits off-center
- Uneven or fast tire wear
- The front end dipping hard when you brake
What we inspect and repair
Shocks and struts, control arms and bushings, ball joints and tie rods, sway bar links, power steering components, and the rest of the front end.
Why it matters
Worn steering and suspension parts can affect how the car handles and how your tires wear, and they can cause a vehicle to fail a state inspection. After many steering and suspension repairs, an alignment is needed to set the angles correctly.
Steering and suspension questions
How do I know if my shocks or struts are worn?
Common signs are a bouncy ride, the front end dipping when you brake, and uneven tire wear. An inspection will confirm it.
Will I need an alignment after repairs?
Often, yes. After replacing many steering and suspension parts, the alignment needs to be reset. We’ll tell you if yours does.
Can worn suspension damage my tires?
Yes. Worn parts can cause uneven wear and shorten tire life.
