The team at our auto repair shop is proud to offer complete steering and suspension services. We understand that your car’s suspension system is integral to a smooth ride, and we’re here to help you maintain it.
What is the Suspension System?
Your car’s suspension system is what provides a smooth ride by absorbing the shocks from bumpy roads and keeping the tires in contact with the ground. The suspension system includes the following parts:
- Springs: Helps absorb shocks
- Shocks or Struts: Dampen spring movement
- Control Arms: Keep the wheels in alignment
- Ball Joints: Allow steering wheel movement
- Bushings: Cushion metal components
As you can see, there are many intricate parts working together to provide you with a comfortable ride. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye out for any telltale signs that your suspension system needs some attention.
