Suspension Repair

The suspension system allows your car to maintain steady footing over all driving surfaces when kept in good condition.

You can then remain confident behind the wheel and enjoy excellent ride quality on all your travels.

When problems arise, however, the need for suspension repairs can wreak havoc on your driving experience. Fortunately, our South Burlington, VT auto repair team is always here to help. You just have to let us know what’s going on, and we’ll take a look to let you know our repair recommendations.

Signs You Need Suspension Repairs

Most suspension problems start subtly as the part’s wear translates into changes in your car’s ride quality and handling. Then, as the situation worsens, the symptoms often become pretty obvious, especially when driving over rough roads.

The most common signs of suspension wear include:

• Clunks, rattles, and other terrible noises

• Pulling to one side or the other

• An increase in vibrations while driving

• Forward dip sensation while braking

• Rough ride quality even over mild bumps

When the shocks or struts have gone bad, you can check by pushing down on the corner of your car while it’s on flat ground. It should simply move down and back up into place without a lot of bouncing. If your vehicle starts jiggling, then it’s time to get into the shop for service.
