Steering & Suspension
Let’s talk about steering and suspension in your vehicle. These are two closely related elements that contribute so much to your vehicle’s handling and comfort when you’re on the road. When you feel like you have good, steady control in your steering and a solid, smooth ride, it feels safe.
When, however, it’s tough to turn the wheel, or if you don’t trust the accuracy of the turn of your steering wheel, that can feel scary.
These are a few of the main parts in your vehicle that have to do with the steering and suspension in your car, truck, SUV or hybrid:
Ball joints
Control arm bushings
Control arms
Electric power steering
Idler arms
Pitman arms
Power steering flushes
Power steering gear
Power steering hoses
Power steering leaks
Power steering pumps
Power steering reservoirs
Rack & pinion assemblies
Steering boxes
Steering knuckles
Steering rods
Steering shaft
Sway bar bushings/links
Tie rod ends
Tracking arms
Trailing arm bushings

This is a picture of a broken CV joint on a Subaru. If you hear clicking noises while turning don’t drive too long or this can happen to you and you’d have to be towed in! This is something we inspect with every oil service to ensure that you are safe.
