The steering and suspension system on your vehicle is responsible for maintaining comfortable riding conditions and driving performance. 

The steering and suspension system also helps drivers remain in control of their vehicles at all times. The suspension system converts forward energy created by bumps in the road into vertical energy that travels up into the vehicle frame.

The components within a suspension system, such as coil springs and shock absorbers, serve to mitigate the impact of road forces. While the specific makeup of each suspension system’s individual parts may vary, all suspension components will naturally weaken over time due to the stresses they endure during typical driving conditions. Moreover, off-road adventures and erratic driving behaviors can accelerate the wear and tear on these suspension components.

Irrespective of your driving preferences, our facility is fully equipped to diagnose and rectify any issues afflicting your steering and suspension system. Our expert staff is adept at inspecting the steering and suspension elements to determine whether the required service involves a minor adjustment or a complete component replacement.

Signs such as shaky, unsteady steering, off-center handling, or stiffness should prompt consideration of steering system repairs. Conversely, if your vehicle exhibits excessive bouncing or swaying when encountering bumps, intermittent control problems during driving and braking, or displays uneven tire wear, it is imperative to schedule a thorough suspension system inspection. It is important to note that uneven tire wear can also signal alignment issues.

Given that suspension system components operate as an integrated unit, allowing untreated suspension issues to persist can accelerate the degradation of other suspension components, potentially leading to more extensive and costly repairs in the future.
