Keeping your car's suspension system in good shape is important for a smooth drive. It helps with safety and how your car performs. If you feel bumps while driving or hear odd sounds, it could be time to check your suspension. At Auto Tech, we make sure your suspension system is running well. Here’s what you should know.
Your car has a suspension system. This system is not just one piece. It is made of several parts that work as a team. This system helps make your ride smooth, steady, and safe. It includes shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, springs, and ball joints. Each part is made to handle bumps on the road and give you good handling. It is an important part of how well your car drives.

When your suspension is working well, you will have a smooth ride. You will feel good when you turn corners. A good suspension also helps your tires last longer. If you ignore it, your rides may get bumpy. You might also lose control and face safety issues.
Not sure if you need to look at your suspension system? Here are some signs you should see:
Is one tire wearing down faster than the others? This could mean your tires are not lined up right.
Does your car bounce a lot after going over bumps? You should check your shocks or struts.
Is your car having trouble going straight? A misaligned setup might be causing this.
Do you hear creaking or knocking sounds when driving over bumps? These sounds could show that your parts are worn out.
If the steering feels loose or does not respond well, it’s time to call us.
Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger problems later. Checking your suspension on time keeps you safe and helps you save money.
At Auto Tech, we’ve got your back when it comes to suspension care. Here’s what we offer:
We provide complete suspension diagnostics, repairs, and replacements to ensure your vehicle maintains stability, comfort, and safety.
Control arms connect the suspension to the vehicle frame, allowing for proper wheel movement. We replace worn or damaged control arms to restore handling and stability.
Bushings cushion the control arms, absorbing vibrations and reducing noise. If you experience excessive vibration or noise, we can replace the worn bushings to restore smooth performance.
Ball joints are crucial for wheel movement and steering. Worn ball joints can lead to clunking noises and poor handling. We replace them to ensure safe and precise vehicle control.
The steering knuckle connects suspension components and allows the wheels to pivot. If damaged, we replace it to ensure proper steering and wheel alignment.
Struts support your vehicle's weight and absorb road impact. If your ride has become rougher or you notice excessive bouncing, replacing worn struts can restore smooth handling.
CV axles transfer power from the transmission to the wheels, enabling smooth movement. Damaged CV axles can cause clicking noises or vibrations. We replace them to keep your drive smooth.
A failing axle shaft can result in wheel wobbling or vibrations. We replace worn axle shafts to maintain stability and drivetrain performance.
The sway bar helps control body roll during turns. If your vehicle leans excessively, we replace the sway bar to restore stability and cornering performance.
Sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension. Worn links can cause knocking noises or reduced handling. We replace them to improve stability and performance.
Rear shocks absorb road impact and maintain traction. If your vehicle bounces excessively or feels unstable, we replace rear shocks for a smoother ride.
