Ball joint replacement: Ball joints connect the steering knuckle to the control arm, allowing for movement and flexibility in the suspension system. Over time, ball joints can wear out or become damaged, leading to a loose or unstable front end.
Control arm replacement: Control arms connect the vehicle's frame to the steering knuckle and help to control the vehicle's movement and alignment. Over time, control arms can become damaged or worn out, leading to poor handling and alignment issues.
Sway bar link replacement: Sway bars help to reduce body roll and stabilize the vehicle during turns. Sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension system and can wear out or become damaged over time, leading to clunking noises or poor handling.
Tie rod end replacement: Tie rod ends connect the steering rack to the steering knuckle and help to control the movement of the wheels. Over time, tie rod ends can become worn or damaged, leading to poor steering control and alignment issues.
These are some of the most common suspension repairs but there can be many other repairs depending on the make and model of the vehicle and its usage. It's always best to have your vehicle inspected to determine the specific suspension repair needed.

SUSPENSION REPAIR
Suspension repair addresses your vehicle's stability, handling, and ride comfort. Key components in our suspension repairs include: sway bar links, tie rod ends, control arm, ball joints, shock and struts. Our suspension repair services include inspections, diagnostics, and replacements of these components to ensure your vehicle handles properly and maintains a smooth, stable ride.
Ball Joint Replacement Service
Ball joints replacement are usually the first thing to go for a vehicles suspension repair. They are exposed to all sorts of bad weather, dirt, salt, potholes and are under far greater stress than other suspension components. As they are not designed for much movement, any side load applied will wear them out quicker. Ball joints can become extremely loose and wobble requiring replacement. This makes the steering very difficult and unnerving to drive.
Control Arm Replacement Service
Control arm replacement is a crucial component of a vehicle's suspension system. Control arm replacement involves lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel disconnecting the control arm and installing the new one. Once we've assembled the new control arm, an alignment check and adjustment is required followed by a test drive. Our proper control arm replacement ensures better handling and extends the life of your vehicles suspension repair and components.
Sway Bar Link Replacement
A sway bar link replacement is a component of a vehicle's suspension system that connects the sway bar. Like the control arms, its primary function is to help reduce body roll during cornering, enhancing vehicle stability and handling. By linking the sway bar to the suspension, it helps distribute the forces experienced during turns more evenly across the vehicle, improving overall ride quality and safety.
Tie Rod End Replacement
A tie rod end replacement is a crucial component in a vehicle's steering system. It connects the steering rack or gearbox to the steering knuckle, allowing for precise control of the wheels. Essentially, the tie rod end translates the motion of the steering wheel into the movement of the wheels.

Steering wheel not returning to its original position after making a turn.

A knocking sound coming from the front suspension while driving over rough roads.
Sway Bar Link Replacement Signs
Clunking or knocking noise: One of the most common signs of a bad sway bar link is a clunking or knocking noise when you drive over bumps or uneven surfaces. This noise can often be heard coming from the front or rear of the vehicle and may get louder as you drive faster.
Handling problems: A worn or damaged sway bar link can cause your vehicle to handle poorly, particularly when you are turning or cornering. You may notice that your vehicle feels more unstable or that the steering is less responsive than usual.
Swaying or leaning: A worn or broken sway bar link can cause your vehicle to sway or lean excessively when you are driving, particularly when you are going around corners or making turns.
Signs For Tie Rod End Replacement
Steering wheel vibration: As tie rod ends wear out, they can cause the steering wheel to vibrate or shake, especially at higher speeds.
Loose steering: Worn tie rod ends can also cause the steering to feel loose or imprecise, as the tie rods are no longer able to keep the wheels aligned properly.
Clunking steering noises: When tie rod ends are worn, they may make clunking or rattling noises when you turn the steering wheel or go over bumps.
