What does a vehicle suspension system do?

Your suspension system absorbs shocks from the road, keeps your tires in contact with the pavement, and ensures a smooth, stable, and safe ride.

How do I know if my suspension needs repair?

Common signs include bouncing excessively, uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, or clunking noises when driving over bumps.

What are the most common suspension repairs?

The most common suspension repairs include shock and strut replacement, ball joint repairs, control arm and bushing replacements, and steering linkage repairs.

How long do shocks and struts last?

Most shocks and struts last 50,000–100,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions and vehicle type.

Can bad suspension affect my tires?

Yes. A worn suspension can cause uneven tire wear, reduced traction, and shorter tire lifespan, leading to higher costs if not repaired.

Is it safe to drive with bad suspension?

No. Driving with a damaged suspension can reduce braking efficiency, steering control, and overall safety. It’s best to have it checked immediately.

How much does suspension repair usually cost?

Costs vary depending on the issue and vehicle type. Minor repairs may be inexpensive, but major component replacements (like struts or control arms) can be higher. At CARS, we always provide an upfront estimate before any work begins.

What’s the difference between shocks and struts?

Both help control your vehicle’s ride, but shocks are separate components, while struts are integrated into the suspension system and also support steering and alignment.

Do I need an alignment after suspension repairs?

Yes. Whenever major suspension parts are replaced, a wheel alignment is recommended to ensure proper tire wear and handling.
