Suspension Inspection & Repair
Your suspension system absorbs bumps and keeps your tires connected to the road. Worn components can compromise safety and ride quality. Common symptoms include:
- The front of the car “nose-dives” when braking
- Excessive bouncing or a rough ride over bumps
- Uneven or scalloped tire wear patterns
We provide expert replacement of shocks, struts, control arms, and bushings to bring back your vehicle’s smooth, controlled ride.
Steering Systems (EPS & Hydraulic)
Whether your car has a traditional hydraulic or a modern Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, precise control is non-negotiable. Signs of a steering problem include:
- Steering feels unusually heavy or stiff
- The vehicle wanders or pulls to one side
- Whining or groaning noises when you turn the wheel
Our technicians service tie rods, rack-and-pinion units, and diagnose pumps, hoses, and EPS modules to ensure your steering is responsive and effortless.
Wheel Alignment & Tires
Proper alignment and balanced tires are essential for vehicle stability, tire longevity, and fuel efficiency. You may need service if you notice:
- Your vehicle pulls to the left or right
- The steering wheel is crooked when driving straight
- Tires are wearing out quickly or unevenly
We offer precision 2- and 4-wheel alignments using modern equipment, as well as tire rotation and balancing services to maximize the life of your tires.
Wheel Bearings & Sway Bars
Wheel bearings and sway bars play a crucial role in a quiet, stable ride. Faulty components can produce distinct noises and handling issues. Symptoms include:
- A humming or growling noise that gets louder with speed
- Clunking or rattling sounds when going over bumps
- Excessive body roll when cornering
We can diagnose and replace worn wheel bearings and repair sway bar links and bushings to eliminate noise and restore vehicle stability.
