Suspension & Shock Services In Atascadero
Worn suspension components affect your vehicle's handling, braking, and tire life. If your ride quality has deteriorated, a suspension inspection can identify the problem before it leads to costly repairs.
Comprehensive Suspension Inspection
Before recommending any repairs, we perform a thorough inspection of your entire suspension system. We check shocks, struts, springs, control arms, ball joints, bushings, and steering components to identify worn or damaged parts affecting your ride quality and handling.
Coil Spring and Leaf Spring Service
Broken or sagging springs affect ride height and handling. We replace coil springs, leaf springs, and related hardware to restore proper suspension geometry and load-carrying capacity.
Shock Absorber Replacement
Worn shocks allow excessive bouncing and reduce your ability to control the vehicle. We replace worn shock absorbers with quality OEM or aftermarket components matched to your vehicle and driving needs, restoring a smooth, controlled ride.
Control Arm and Bushing Replacement
Worn control arm bushings cause clunking, wandering steering, and accelerated tire wear. We replace control arms and bushings to restore tight, responsive handling and eliminate suspension noise.
Strut Assembly Replacement
Struts combine the shock absorber and structural support into one unit. We replace worn or damaged strut assemblies, including strut mounts and bearings, to eliminate clunking noises and restore proper handling.
Ball Joint and Tie Rod Replacement
Ball joints and tie rod ends are critical steering and suspension pivot points. We inspect and replace worn joints to prevent dangerous steering play and ensure safe, predictable handling.
