What Is Your Suspension System?
More Than Just Comfort
Vehicle Stability and Control
The suspension keeps your tires in contact with the road surface, even over bumps and uneven terrain. This contact is essential for steering control, braking effectiveness, and overall vehicle stability.
Weight Distribution
The suspension evenly distributes vehicle weight across all four tires, ensuring balanced handling and preventing excessive wear on any single tire or component.
Passenger Comfort
By isolating the cabin from road imperfections, the suspension provides a smooth, comfortable ride for all passengers.
What Counts as "Severe" Driving?
Suspension components absorb the energy from bumps, potholes, and road irregularities, preventing harsh impacts from reaching the vehicle's frame and passengers.
Steering Response
Working with the steering system, your suspension allows precise directional control and predictable handling characteristics

Our Suspension Repair Services
Complete Suspension System Service
When Shocks Need Replacement:
- Bouncing excessively after bumps, visible fluid leaks, nose-diving during braking.
Benefits of New Shocks:
Restored ride comfort, improved handling and control, reduced stopping distances.
Shock Absorber Replacement
Understanding Struts:
Struts are structural components that support vehicle weight, provide damping, and maintain alignment. We offer both complete strut assembly or cartridge replacement.
Signs: Clunking noises, visible fluid leaks, vehicle sits lower, excessive bouncing.
Strut Replacement and Service
Warning Signs:
Clunking noise when turning, steering wanders, uneven tire wear, torn rubber boots, or excessive play. Failed ball joints are dangerous!
Our Service:
Thorough inspection, quality replacement ball joints, proper pressing/bolting, and wheel alignment after service.
Ball Joint Replacement
Signs of Problems:
Clunking from suspension, steering wheel vibration, uneven tire wear, vehicle pulls or wanders, or visually torn bushings.
We offer complete assemblies or bushing replacement, followed by wheel alignment to restore proper geometry.
Control Arm Replacement
Sway Bar Link and Bushing Replacement
Stop the Clunking:
These components are common failure points causing annoying clunking or rattling over bumps and excessive body roll in turns. They are often a quick, affordable fix.
We replace links, bushings, and assemblies for improved stability.
Spring Replacement (Coil or Leaf)
When Springs Need Replacement:
A broken spring (visible break, vehicle sits lower on one corner) or sagging springs (reduced ground clearance, bottoming out) require immediate attention for safety and handling.
Replacement requires professional tools for safety. We restore proper ride height and stability.

Warning Signs and Symptoms
Common Suspension Problems
Ride Quality Issues
Bouncy or Rough Ride
Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps indicates worn shocks or struts.
Risks: Reduced vehicle control, longer stopping distances, increased tire wear.
Vehicle Sits Lower on One Side
Indicates a broken spring, worn strut mount, or damaged component.
Risks: Poor handling, rapid tire wear, misalignment.
Nose Dives When Braking
Worn front shocks or struts can't control weight transfer.
Risks: Reduced braking effectiveness, loss of steering control during stops.
Warning Signs and Symptoms
Handling and Control Problems
Excessive Body Roll in Turns
Severe leaning indicates worn sway bar links, bushings, or failing shock absorbers.
Risks: Reduced cornering ability, poor emergency maneuver response.
Steering Wanders or Feels Loose
Worn ball joints, tie rods, or bushings allow excessive play.
Risks: Dangerous loss of control, failed ball joints can separate (catastrophic).
Vehicle Pulls to One Side
Caused by alignment issues or worn suspension components like control arm bushings.
Risks: Tire wear, driver fatigue, reduced control.
Clunking or Banging Sounds
Indicates loose, worn, or damaged suspension components moving excessively (Ball joints, strut mounts, sway bar links).
Squeaking or Creaking Noises
Often indicates worn bushings or dry ball joints.
Knocking When Turning
Typically indicates worn CV joints or failing strut bearings.
Tire Wear Patterns That Indicate
Suspension Problems
Indicates alignment problems, often caused by worn ball joints, bent control arms, or damaged strut mounts.
Inside or
Outside Edge Wear
Indicates bouncing caused by worn shocks or struts that can't control wheel movement.
Cupping or
Scalloping
Tire tread ribs worn smooth on one side indicates toe alignment problems, often from suspension wear.
Feathering

Suspension problems cause premature tire wear, costing you hundreds in replacement. Fix the suspension first, then replace tires.
