Steering & Suspension Repair

Restore confidence in the way your vehicle rides and handles. We inspect steering and suspension concerns and explain which components need attention.

Services we provide

    Inspect worn or leaking shocks and struts and replace them with OEM or OE-equivalent components.

  • Control arms and bushings

    Check for worn bushings and damaged arms that can affect handling or cause noise.

  • Ball joints

    Inspect suspension joints for wear or excess movement and replace faulty components.

  • Tie rods and steering components

    Check steering components for looseness, wear, or damage and recommend the necessary repairs.

  • Sway bar links

    Inspect links and related bushings for wear that can contribute to clunks over bumps.

  • Wheel bearings and hubs

    Check bearing noise and wheel play to help identify a worn hub or bearing.

  • Air suspension diagnosis and repair

    Test air suspension components and investigate leaks, warning messages, or uneven ride height.

  • Clunk, vibration, and steering-play diagnosis

    Use noise-detection equipment and targeted suspension checks to trace clunks, vibrations, and looseness.
