Has Your Vehicle Started Driving Differently?
Changes in handling, ride quality and tire wear can point to suspension problems.
Suspension components wear gradually, so you may notice small changes before there is an obvious problem. A vehicle that once felt smooth and controlled may begin to bounce, pull, lean or make new noises over bumps.
Signs your suspension may need attention include:
A rougher or bouncier ride
Clunking, knocking or squeaking over bumps
Vehicle pulling or drifting
Excessive body movement when turning
Uneven or premature tire wear
One corner of the vehicle sitting lower than the others
Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
Changes in steering or handling
If your vehicle no longer feels the way it normally does on the road, a suspension inspection can help identify what has changed.
Suspension Diagnosis & Repair
From worn components to handling concerns, we’ll get to the source of the problem.
A suspension system includes a number of components working together to support the vehicle and maintain control on the road. Wear or damage to one component can affect handling, ride quality and other parts of the system.
Depending on the vehicle and the issue, suspension service may involve:
Shocks and struts
Springs
Ball joints
Control arms and bushings
Sway bars and links
Tie rods and related steering components
Wheel bearings
Suspension system inspection and diagnosis
Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll review what we found, the recommended repair and the cost before moving ahead.

Why Suspension Problems Are Worth Addressing
Ride comfort is only one part of the equation.
Your suspension plays an important role in how your vehicle handles braking, cornering and changing road conditions. Worn components can also contribute to uneven tire wear and place additional stress on other parts of the vehicle.
Because many suspension components wear gradually, it can be easy to become accustomed to changes in ride or handling. An inspection can identify worn or damaged components and determine whether repairs are required.
Keeping the suspension in good working condition helps maintain the handling and performance your vehicle was designed to provide.

Suspension Service FAQs
-
Clunking or knocking can come from several suspension or steering components, including worn bushings, ball joints, sway bar links or strut components. An inspection is needed to pinpoint where the sound is coming from.
-
You may notice excessive bouncing, reduced stability, changes in handling or unusual tire wear. Because these symptoms can also have other causes, the condition of the suspension should be inspected before replacing components.
-
Yes. Problems within the suspension can affect how the tires contact the road and contribute to uneven or premature wear. Tire wear can have other causes as well, so the vehicle should be assessed as a whole.
-
It depends on the component and the severity of the problem. Because the suspension affects vehicle stability and handling, noticeable changes or suspected damage should be inspected rather than ignored.
