Suspension and Steering Inspection & Repair
Comprehensive Suspension and Steering Services
A smooth and controlled ride depends on a properly functioning suspension and steering system. Star Auto Service Inc provides thorough inspections and expert repairs to keep your vehicle stable, responsive, and safe on the road. From worn-out shocks to misaligned steering, we address all issues affecting ride comfort and handling.
Suspension System Inspection and Repair
The suspension system absorbs road impact and maintains tire contact with the surface. Worn components can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and an uncomfortable ride. We diagnose and repair suspension issues with precision.
- Shock Absorber Inspection and Replacement – Faulty shocks reduce stability, causing excessive bouncing and swaying. We check for leaks, worn bushings, and diminished damping ability, replacing damaged shocks as needed.
- Strut Replacement – Struts provide structural support to the suspension system. We inspect and replace worn struts to restore handling and ride quality.
- Control Arms and Bushings – These components connect the suspension to the chassis. We check for looseness or damage and replace bushings to reduce vibrations.
- Spring Inspection and Repair – Coil and leaf springs support vehicle weight and absorb shock. Broken or sagging springs can affect ride height and handling. We inspect and replace springs to maintain balance.
- Wheel Alignment – Misaligned wheels cause uneven tire wear and steering issues. We adjust alignment angles to ensure precise handling and even tire wear.
Steering System Diagnostics and Repairs
A well-functioning steering system ensures smooth turning and proper vehicle control. Star Auto Service Inc provides thorough steering inspections and repairs to address stiffness, looseness, or unusual noises.
- Power Steering System Check – We inspect fluid levels, hoses, and pumps to detect leaks or pressure loss. Replacing worn components prevents steering difficulty.
- Steering Rack and Pinion Repair – The rack and pinion system converts steering wheel movement into wheel direction. We check for leaks, worn gears, and binding, replacing faulty parts when necessary.
- Tie Rod End Inspection and Replacement – Tie rods connect the steering system to the wheels. Worn tie rods cause erratic steering and excessive tire wear. We replace damaged parts to restore control.
- Ball Joint Inspection – Ball joints link the control arms to the steering knuckle, allowing smooth wheel movement. Loose or damaged ball joints can cause clunking noises and steering instability. We inspect and replace them for better safety.
Importance of Regular Maintenance
Suspension and steering problems worsen over time and can lead to dangerous driving conditions. Regular inspections help detect early signs of wear, preventing costly repairs and ensuring safe handling.
