Suspension, Shocks and Struts

Your vehicle’s suspension system is what keeps your drive comfortable and stable — but more importantly, it plays a critical role in safety and steering control.

If your suspension components are worn or damaged, it can affect braking distance, tire wear, and how well your car handles the road — especially over bumps, turns, or sudden stops.

The suspension system includes shocks, struts, springs, control arms, and other components that:

• Absorb road bumps for a smoother ride
   
• Keep your tires firmly on the road for control and traction
   
• Maintain proper steering and alignment
   
• Support the weight of your vehicle evenly
   

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time for a professional inspection:

• Your vehicle bounces excessively after bumps
   
• The ride feels rough, shaky, or unstable
   
• You hear clunking or rattling noises over bumps
   
• Your car pulls to one side when driving or braking
   
• One corner of the car sits lower than the rest
   
• You notice uneven or rapid tire wear
   
• The steering feels loose or unresponsive
   

These are signs that key suspension components like shocks, struts, or bushings may be worn and need to be repaired or replaced.
