Properly aligned steering and suspension can help deliver a smooth and controlled ride. The steering system and shocks bear the weight of your vehicle, keep the tires on the road when driving and help in delivering a smoother, more controlled trip.
Why service is necessary: The steering and suspension system should be checked annually to prevent major repairs. Anytime you feel indicators of steering or suspension troubles, have your vehicle evaluated. Prolonged steering and suspension issues can cause safety risks over time.
Indicators that you need your steering and suspension system inspected include:
Pulling to the side
Trouble steering
Issues driving over uneven roadways or dips
Car continues to bounce after hitting a bump
Tires wander or wiggle
Steering seems to be sliding
To help ensure your steering and suspension systems are functioning effectively, a professional may examine all of your steering and suspension parts, and will also check:
Power steering fluid
Tightness of nuts and bolts
Uneven tires or wear
Out of balance tires
Loose or used power steering belts
