Suspension Maintenance Services
It is important to maintain your vehicle's suspension system regularly in order to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. At Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley, our maintenace program keeps your vehicle running smoothly and safely on the road.
Our suspension maintenance program includes:
- Thorough Inspection: This inspection helps identify worn or damaged parts in the suspension system, such as bushings, control arms, or springs. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and maintain the stability of your vehicle's suspension.
- Lubrication of Joints and Bushings: Lubricating these parts reduces friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation and prolonging the lifespan of the suspension system. It also helps maintain proper alignment, preventing premature tire wear and improving steering responsiveness.
- Checking Shocks and Struts: Inspecting shocks and struts ensures they are functioning correctly. Worn or damaged shocks and struts can lead to a rough ride, reduced vehicle stability, and increased braking distances. Replacing them as needed improves ride comfort and handling.
- Verifying Wheel Alignment: Proper wheel alignment ensures all four wheels point in the correct direction, optimizing tire wear and handling. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, steering pull, and reduced fuel efficiency. Verifying wheel alignment helps maintain stability and improves overall vehicle performance.
Proactive maintenance can prevent costly repairs in the future and keep your vehicle operating at its peak performance. Regular suspension maintenance enhances ride comfort and handling and contributes to overall vehicle safety and longevity.

Q. "What is the difference between shocks and struts?"While one of them will be found in every one of your vehicle’s tires, a vehicle will either have a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both.
