How a Suspension Works:

The steering system and suspension systems bear the weight of your vehicle, maintain the tires on the road while driving and assist in delivering a hassle-free, safer trip.

Why service is needed: The steering and suspension system must be checked at least once a year to prevent significant repairs. Anytime you feel symptoms of steering or suspension troubles have your mechanic check your car to correct the issue rapidly. Extended steering and suspension concerns will result in extreme safety dangers quickly.

What can cause even minor steering and suspension problems?

If you are in an accident, even a minor one, it can damage your suspension system or knock your wheels out of alignment. Simply bumping or hitting a curb, pothole or large rock can damage your suspension. Just balancing or aligning the wheels won’t correct a suspension problem.  After any suspension work, you may need to get an alignment.
