The steering and suspension systems are essential components of your vehicle, working together to provide stability, control, and a comfortable ride. The steering system allows you to guide the vehicle’s direction, while the suspension system absorbs road shocks, maintains tire contact, and ensures smooth handling.

The steering system includes components such as the steering wheel, column, rack and pinion, and tie rods. These parts must operate seamlessly for responsive and accurate steering. Over time, wear and tear can cause issues like difficulty turning, excessive play in the steering wheel, or unusual noises when steering.

The suspension system consists of shocks, struts, springs, and control arms. It supports the vehicle’s weight, cushions bumps, and maintains proper tire alignment. Worn or damaged suspension components can result in a rough ride, uneven tire wear, and compromised handling.

Regular inspection and maintenance of both systems are critical for safety and performance. Common signs of problems include pulling to one side, excessive bouncing, uneven tire wear, or a rough ride. Addressing steering and suspension issues promptly helps prevent further damage, ensures a smooth driving experience, and keeps your vehicle safe on the road.
