Steering and Suspension System Repair in Philadelphia

The steering and suspension system of a vehicle plays a key role in providing a comfortable ride and optimal driving performance. It aids drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles under all circumstances. The system transforms forward energy generated by road bumps into vertical energy, which is absorbed by the vehicle frame. This is made possible by suspension system components such as shocks and struts, and coil springs.

Wear and Tear of Suspension Components

All components of the suspension system, including shocks and struts, are subject to weakening over time due to the stress experienced during regular driving. Off-road and erratic driving can accelerate this wear and tear process. We are equipped to identify and rectify any issues with your steering and suspension system, whether it requires a minor adjustment or a complete replacement.

Signs of Steering and Suspension System Issues

Signs that your steering system may need repair include:

• Shaky, unsteady, off-center, or stiff steering
• Your vehicle bouncing or swaying excessively during bumps
• Intermittent control while driving and braking
• Uneven tire wear, though this could signify other needs, such as a wheel alignment

Impact of Potholes and Importance of Timely Repairs

Potholes can cause damage to steering and suspension components, including tie rods and the tie rod ends. Repeated collisions with deep potholes can have a cumulatively negative impact on your vehicle. Worn suspension components, such as a need for ball joint replacement, can decrease the vehicle's stability and the driver's control. As all suspension system components work together as a unit, untreated suspension issues can lead to increased wear on other components, potentially resulting in more extensive repairs later.
