Why it matters beyond comfort

Worn suspension parts do more than make the ride rough. They change how your tires meet the road, which shows up as uneven tire wear, longer stopping distances and sloppy steering. Replacing a worn part often saves the set of tires it was chewing through.

Lifted and lowered vehicles

We work on modified trucks regularly, so a lift kit or lowered setup is familiar territory. If your ride height has been changed, tell us when you book and we will take that into account.

Questions we get asked

Suspension questions

How long do shocks and struts last?

Many last somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, though rough roads and heavy loads shorten that. If the ride has gone bouncy or the vehicle leans more in corners, it is worth having them checked.

Why does my truck clunk over bumps?

Clunking often comes from worn bushings, ball joints, sway bar links or shock mounts. It takes an inspection on a lift to pin down which one, and we will show you what we find.

Do you work on lifted trucks?

Yes. We install lift kits and work on already-modified trucks regularly, including suspension repairs on lifted and lowered vehicles.

Can worn suspension ruin my tires?

It can. Worn parts let the tire bounce or sit at the wrong angle, which shows up as cupped or uneven wear and can cost you a set of tires early.
