Suspension Repair FAQ
How do I know if my suspension needs repair?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, a rough or bumpy ride, clunking or knocking noises, uneven tire wear, vehicle pulling to one side, or the front end dipping when braking. If you notice any of these symptoms, a suspension inspection is recommended.
Is it safe to drive with bad shocks or struts?
Driving with worn shocks or struts reduces vehicle stability, increases stopping distance, and affects steering control. For your safety, it’s best to have them inspected and replaced as soon as possible.
What causes suspension components to wear out?
Suspension parts wear down over time due to normal driving conditions, potholes, rough roads, weather exposure, and high mileage. Houston road conditions and heat can accelerate wear.
How often should shocks and struts be replaced?
Most manufacturers recommend inspection every 50,000 miles. Replacement needs vary based on driving habits and road conditions.
Will bad suspension affect my tires?
Yes. Worn suspension components can cause uneven tire wear, reduced traction, and shorter tire lifespan.
How long does suspension repair take?
Most suspension repairs can be completed the same day. More complex repairs may take longer depending on parts availability and vehicle condition.
Do I need an alignment after suspension repair?
In many cases, yes. Replacing suspension components can affect wheel alignment, and an alignment ensures proper handling and tire wear.
