Along with your brakes, your car’s steering and suspension system are crucial to your safety and the safety of your passengers and fellow drivers on the road. Normally you are not aware of your steering and suspension system until there are problems. They are responsible for a smooth ride, driving performance, and some of the wear on your tires.
We specialize in steering and suspension systems since they are directly related to your tires.
Steering System
Symptoms of steering problems include the car pulling to one side, uneven tread wear on your tires, loose or worn mechanical parts such as ball joint.
Typical repairs we can perform are:
- Ball joint replacement
- Inner & outer tie rod replacement
- Check & add power steering fluid
- Rack & pinion steering system repair or replacement
- 2- and 4-wheel computerized wheel alignment
For our wheel alignments, we use the Hunter heavy lift that can accommodate dually trucks up to 16,000 pounds. Refer to our Wheel Alignment page for more details of our precision wheel alignment system.
Suspension System
Because of San Diego’s roads with many potholes, your car’s suspension and steering can be affected. Symptoms of suspension problems may include bouncing or swaying of your car or truck when encountering bumps. Like improper wheel alignment, faulty suspension components can cause uneven tire wear.
Typical repairs we can perform are:
- Shock absorber replacement
- Strut replacement
