Steering and Suspension

The steering system allows drivers to guide their vehicle and can suffer from common issues like loose or worn steering components. Symptoms may include excessive play in the steering wheel or a noticeable difficulty in steering responsiveness. Such issues can compromise safety by affecting the driver’s ability to control the vehicle precisely.

The suspension system, designed to absorb shocks from the road and maintain tire contact, can experience problems such as worn-out shock absorbers or struts, leading to a rough ride. Broken springs, worn bushings, and malfunctioning control arms are other typical concerns that can result in uneven tire wear, poor handling, and even an increased braking distance.

Addressing these issues involves regular inspections and timely repairs. We recommend checking the steering and suspension systems at least once a year or following the manufacturer’s guidelines.  We look for signs of damage or wear in components such as tie rods, ball joints, and shocks.
