Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my shocks or struts are bad?
Common signs include a bouncy ride, nose diving when braking, excessive body roll in turns, or visible fluid leaking from the shock body. We can test and inspect them to give you a definitive answer.
What causes uneven tire wear?
Worn suspension components, misalignment, or improper tire pressure. If your tires are wearing unevenly, it is often a sign of a suspension issue that needs attention.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Usually, yes. Replacing components like tie rods, control arms, or struts changes the alignment angles. We recommend an alignment check after most suspension repairs.
Why does my steering wheel shake at highway speeds?
This is often caused by unbalanced tires, worn tie rods, or warped brake rotors. Sometimes it's a combination. We'll diagnose the root cause.
What is that clunking noise when I go over bumps?
Clunking typically indicates worn sway bar links, ball joints, or strut mounts. It's worth having inspected — these components affect handling and safety.
