Car Suspension Repair

Your vehicle's suspension system protects you from bouncing up and down due to bad road conditions and bumps in the road. But, more importantly, it affects your steering ability, which can mean the difference between life and death.

Does your vehicle need a suspension repair?

Vehicle collisions, even minor ones, can often cause more damage than is perceptible. For example, vehicles commonly sustain damage to their suspension and steering systems during clashes. If this happens, you need to fix your suspension right away. 

When the suspension is off on your vehicle, you lose the control you usually have while driving – compromising your safety and that of other drivers on the road. 

Our expert technicians can perform a quick suspension repair and get you back in control in no time. So whether you've been in an accident or your suspension has just experienced normal wear and tear, don't risk even more damage to your vehicle.

What is a car suspension?

Your car's suspension system is a protective lattice of shock-absorbing parts such as springs and dampers. Your car's suspension helps guarantee that your drive is safe and smooth by absorbing the energy from road bumps and other kinetic impacts. Additionally, it helps your tires stay in contact with the road by enhancing tire friction.

Think of your car's suspension as a kind of carriage on which the car's main cabin sits. Your cabin is more comfortable because it sits on the suspension, which is connected to the car's wheels. Due to this, the vehicle and house are insulated against common driving impacts, even on well-paved roads.

The main parts of a car's suspension include:

  1. Springs help control the height and load of the suspension and cabin.
  2. Shocks (also called dampers) absorb and dampen various kinetic energy impulses that your tires transmit when they contact the road.

Why is it essential to have an active suspension?

Each modern car is fitted with a suspension that offers several benefits. For example:

  • Suspension systems maximize the friction between your car's tires and the road. By increasing friction, you can steer your vehicle with more stability and experience better handling. The more contact your tires have with the tarmac, the safer and more securely you'll be able to drive.
  • The suspension system of your car also supplies added comfort. By restricting the kinetic energy transferred from road imperfections like bumps to your cabin, you will bounce far less, and your passengers will enjoy a smoother ride.
  • Furthermore, suspension systems can help increase your car's durability and lifespan. Your vehicle's structural components will be taxed much less over time by restricting how much energy is transmitted from bumps and potholes in the road

Doesn't Need Maintenance

Myths

My suspension doesn't need maintenance.

Facts

Every vehicle needs regular maintenance. For example, your suspension is made up of many moving parts. The shocks, the power steering, the sway bars. They need to be maintained, or they'll wear out sooner than they should.

Firmer Suspension = Better Handling

Myths

Firmer suspension means better handling.

Facts

This is only true if you drive a Ferrari or a Corvette. Of course, you expect the ride to be firm because you're in a road-going race car. But, an average vehicle doesn't have to ride badly, to handle well

Independent Operation

Myths

The suspension operates independently.

Facts

The truth is a malfunctioning shock or strut could keep your tire from maintaining proper contact with the road. This could cause unfavorable wear on your tires.

Harsh Ride

Myths

Coilover suspensions give a harsh ride

Facts

Coilovers may not have the same cloud-like feeling as air suspensions, but that doesn't mean they provide a harrowing driving experience. Or at least they don't have to.

Doing It Yourself

Myths

DIY is the same as taking your car to the shop.

Facts

No, it isn't! Why risk damaging a high-end vehicle just to save a few bucks here and there? Most people don't have the eye, let alone the training that professional mechanics possess.
