Suspension Repair in Chicago, IL

Common Suspension Repairs

Your transportation’s suspension is comprised of several components that work together as one system. A traditional suspension, for instance, uses shocks or struts to ease the jolts of imperfect road surfaces. As you cross bumps, these extend and contract to lessen the impact that you feel inside the passenger cabin. Over time, the shocks wear. They can also be damaged from an extreme jolt that causes them to “bottom out” or from a collision. See us for shock replacement if you notice signs such as excessive/prolonged bounce or your car sagging sideways. Similarly, if you own a model equipped with an air suspension, the airbags that take the place of shocks will require replacement if they crack, become punctured, or otherwise leak. Another repair we often make is to joints or the CV boots that surround them. Just as it sounds, a joint works with a suspension arm for controlled motion. If this part wears, you may begin to hear odd noises, particularly as you turn. Left unaddressed, the problem could advance to the point of breaking. To protect the joint from dirt and corrosion, a rubber housing called a boot encases it. Tears to the covering can allow water and other contaminants to enter, accelerating joint damage. Finally, the major suspension angles can shift out of alignment over time or from sudden events like hitting a bad pothole or being involved in a collision. We can perform a wheel alignment to ensure that the wheels, axles, and body are in proper relationship with one another and the road. This allows for better performance, prevents extra stress on suspension components, and prolongs the life of your tires.
