Suspension Service in Memphis, TN

Keep Your Car Safe, Stable, and Comfortable

When your vehicle starts to bounce, pull, or feel loose in the steering wheel, it can quickly turn every drive into a concern. Your suspension system does more than keep the ride smooth. It helps your tires stay in contact with the road so you can steer and stop with confidence. That is why a thorough suspension service in Memphis is important when problems start to appear.

At Christian Brothers Automotive Germantown, we take those concerns seriously. Our ASE-certified technicians inspect your shocks, struts, and other suspension components using manufacturer-quality equipment, then explain what we find in clear, everyday language. We work to recommend only what your car truly needs, and we back our work with an industry-leading warranty so you can drive away feeling secure.

Why Your Suspension Matters

Your suspension system absorbs impacts to keep tires planted and passengers comfortable. Shocks and struts control vehicle movement, preventing bouncing over potholes or excessive leaning in turns. They collaborate with brakes and steering to ensure you maintain traction during sudden stops or lane changes, keeping you in control.

Memphis streets, with rough crossings and traffic, stress these components significantly. Worn parts increase braking distances and reduce stability in crosswinds. If your car dives during braking or drifts requiring constant correction, it is time for an inspection to protect your safety and budget before problems escalate.

Common signs of suspension issues include:

Braking Distance: Worn shocks can increase stopping distance, reducing your ability to avoid accidents during sudden stops.
Tire Wear: Unstable suspension causes uneven tire contact, leading to premature bald spots and frequent replacement costs.
Ride Comfort: Failed struts allow excessive bouncing and swaying, making daily drives uncomfortable and harder to control.
Steering Control: Loose components cause drifting or wandering, requiring constant steering corrections to stay in your lane.

Ensure your vehicle stops safely without diving or drifting by calling (901) 883-7358 or scheduling online for an inspection.

Shocks & Struts Services

Shocks and struts serve distinct roles: shocks control movement, while struts also support vehicle weight and alignment. As these components wear, you might notice increased body roll, bouncing after speed bumps, or a floaty feeling on highways. Visible fluid leaks, clunks over rough pavement, or uneven tire wear often indicate trouble. Understanding these signs helps you address issues early, preventing further damage to your suspension and ensuring a safer, more controlled ride.

When you choose us for shocks service in Memphis, we prioritize accuracy over guesswork. Our technicians perform a thorough inspection, checking for leaks, physical damage, and excessive play in the suspension. We also conduct a road test to evaluate handling and examine related components like mounts and bushings. This comprehensive approach ensures we identify the root cause of any issue, guaranteeing that your suspension system is restored to optimal condition.

For shocks installation or struts service Memphis drivers rely on, we use quality parts meeting manufacturer standards to restore ride control. Since replacing struts often affects alignment, we verify angles to ensure proper tracking and tire wear. Whether you need a simple replacement or a complex struts installation in Memphis, our work is backed by an industry-leading warranty. You leave with confidence, knowing your investment is protected and your vehicle is safe for the road.

We then perform a road test to experience the issue firsthand, followed by a thorough shop inspection of shocks, struts, control arms, and steering linkages to identify wear or safety concerns.
