Suspension Repair Services
- Suspension System Diagnostics: With the help of sophisticated equipment we can carefully examine all the suspension parts such as shocks, struts, springs, and control arms. This enables us to determine if the problem is because of worn-out parts or a problem with the alignment of the part in question.
- Shock and Strut Replacement: Sometimes the shocks and struts wear out and this will cause the vehicle to drive roughly and be difficult to maneuver. Our company offers professional shock and strut replacement with genuine components to help restore your car’s handling and comfort.
- Spring Replacement: The springs in the suspension system assist the weight of your car and also help make sure that the car doesn’t lose balance. If your springs are broken or worn out, we can restore the correct ride heights and handling giving you a superior ride feel.
- Control Arm and Bushing Repair: Control arms and bushings tie the suspension to the car’s frame and are used in steering and stability. However, these components can become worn over time leading to the poor handling and uneven wearing of tires. We always check and change control arms and bushings when necessary so that your suspension will perform correctly.
- Wheel Alignment: An improperly aligned wheel can cause wear in the tires and also hinder the general performance of the vehicle. For any suspension repair that we do, we also conduct a wheel alignment to guarantee you a smooth and safe ride. Misalignment also shortens the life of your tires and even affects your fuel consumption rates.
FAQs About Suspension Repair
When should I inspect my suspension system?
It is advised that your suspension be checked during regular services or anytime you think that your car is not handling as it should. Of course, routine examinations reduce the likelihood of more severe problems arising.
Does driving with a damaged suspension lead to other issues?
Yes, a damaged suspension can cause your tires to wear out unevenly, handle poorly, and even affect other systems such as the steering system. Any lurking problem must be tackled quickly to avert further deterioration in the suspension systems.
When do I need new shocks or struts?
If your car is bumpy, it takes a longer distance to stop the car, or you see some fluids on the ground close to the shocks or struts, then it’s about time to replace them.
Is wheel alignment important after repairing a vehicle suspension system?
Absolutely. Regardless of whether a vehicle needs new shocks, struts, or control arms, an alignment should be done each time the car is in the garage for a major suspension repair. A car with bad wheel alignment means that the tires will wear out unevenly and it will be difficult to control. Proper alignment means that your tires are set in the right position for the road.
Will suspension repairs help to effectively improve the handling of my car?
Absolutely. Correct suspension repairs bring back handling, stability, and comfort to the vehicle making the overall driving experience a more pleasant one.
