- Shock absorber and strut replacement: Shock absorbers and struts help to absorb bumps and vibrations, so if they are worn, they can affect the ride quality and stability of the vehicle.
- Ball joint replacement: Ball joints are a crucial component of the suspension system, connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles. If they are worn, they can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle.
- Tie rod end replacement: Tie rod ends are responsible for transferring force from the steering gear to the wheels, and if they are worn, they can cause problems with the steering and handling of the vehicle.
- Steering gear replacement: The steering gear is responsible for converting the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion, which is then transmitted to the wheels. If the steering gear is damaged, it can affect the handling and control of the vehicle.
- Steering pump replacement: The steering pump provides hydraulic pressure to power the steering system, so if it is damaged, it can affect the ability of the driver to steer the vehicle effectively.
- Suspension arm replacement: Suspension arms help to locate the wheels and provide support for the suspension system, so if they are damaged, they can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle.

Why it matters
A tight steering and suspension system is more than comfort—it’s safety and tire life. Worn components increase stopping distances, reduce stability in turns, and destroy tires quickly. Repairing the root cause saves money and keeps you in control.

FAQs
My car only makes noise sometimes—can you still diagnose it?
Yes. We verify the concern with a road test, then inspect components that commonly cause intermittent noises and play.
Do vibrations always mean I need tires?
Not always. Vibrations can come from tires, wheel bearings, suspension wear, or brakes. We test before replacing.
Will I need an alignment after suspension work?
Often recommended after parts like control arms, struts, or tie-rods are replaced. We’ll advise based on the repair performed.
Can I keep driving if it just makes noise?
Some noises are minor; others indicate a safety issue. We’ll tell you which is which—and what’s safe—before you authorize anything.
Do you do phone quotes?
We don’t quote by phone. We inspect first, then provide clear pricing for the exact repair your car needs.
