Steering & Suspension Repair
A loose steering feel, repeated bouncing or an unusual clunk can have several causes. Steering and suspension service focuses on the parts that guide the wheels and manage ride motion. The goal is to identify wear in the relevant components rather than assume the entire suspension needs replacement.
Learn morePower Steering Fluid Service
Hydraulic power steering systems use fluid to assist steering. Electric power steering systems do not have the same fluid service requirement. Confirming which system your vehicle uses is the first step before considering a power steering flush.
Learn moreSuspension Strut Replacement
Struts are structural suspension assemblies on vehicles designed with them. Wear can affect damping and ride behavior, but a clunk or bounce may also involve mounts, links or other parts. Strut service should follow an inspection of the relevant assembly.
Learn moreWheel Bearing Replacement
Wheel bearings allow the wheel assembly to rotate while supporting load. A worn bearing may cause a humming or growling sound, but tire wear and other rotating components can sound similar. Accurate inspection matters before choosing which part to replace.
Learn moreShock Absorber Installation
Shock absorbers control suspension movement on vehicles equipped with them. Worn shocks can contribute to continued bouncing or reduced ride control, but an inspection helps distinguish damping wear from tire, spring or mounting issues.
