Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Signs My Car Needs Suspension Repair?
Common signs include a bumpy ride, pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or noise while driving over bumps. If you notice any of these, seeking a professional evaluation is important to address any underlying issues before they worsen.
How Often Should I Have My Suspension System Checked?
It is recommended to have your suspension system checked every 12,000 miles or once a year, especially if you frequently drive on rough roads. Regular inspections can help catch minor issues before they lead to major damage, preserving your vehicle's longevity and performance.

Immediate attention to suspension issues ensures your safety and prevents further costly repairs by avoiding compound stress to other vehicle components.
What Affects My Suspension System's Lifespan?
Various factors can affect your suspension system’s lifespan, including road conditions, the quality of parts installed, and how vigorously the vehicle is driven. Regular maintenance and quality repairs can prolong its lifespan significantly. Additionally, driving habits such as avoiding excessive speed bumps and minimizing abrupt braking can further extend the life of your suspension components.
