The suspension system in your vehicle is the unsung hero of every smooth, controlled, and safe drive. At Advanced Auto Works in Livermore, CA, we specialize in suspension repair services to keep your car riding comfortably and handling with precision.
Whether you're driving a Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, or another make, our certified Reliable technicians are equipped with the tools and expertise to accurately diagnose and repair any suspension issues.
Your suspension system’s main job is to absorb the energy transferred from the road—bumps, potholes, cracks, and prevent it from shaking your car or compromising its stability. Without a properly functioning suspension, you'll notice:
Poor handling and reduced control
Uncomfortable ride quality
Uneven tire wear
Extended braking distance
Increased risk of rollover in extreme turns
Routine suspension inspections and repairs keep your vehicle firmly planted on the road and your passengers safe.
Understanding the suspension system helps you know what to expect during repairs. Here are the main components we inspect and service:
The structural foundation that supports the body and engine absorbs road energy and distributes weight.
Includes shocks, struts, springs, and control arms. These parts absorb shocks and stabilize the vehicle.
Works in harmony with the suspension to allow for smooth, precise turns using minimal force from the driver.
Connect your car to the road. Worn suspension leads to irregular tire wear and reduced grip.
Provide structural support and dampen road impact. Worn struts lead to a bouncy ride and poor control.
Oil-filled cylinders that control motion in your suspension system. Leaking oil is a sign that your shocks need replacement.
Transfer power from your engine to the wheels and support your vehicle's weight. Damaged axles cause vibrations and loss of motion.
Link your wheels to your frame. Worn or bent control arms can cause misalignment and uneven tire wear. Typically replaced every 90,000–100,000 miles.
Be on the lookout for the following symptoms of a failing suspension system:
The vehicle drifts or pulls during turns
Rough, bouncy rides over bumps
Fluid leaking near shocks or struts
Clunking noises from under the car
Uneven tire wear
Steering feels loose or unstable
The car dips forward when braking
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Bring your vehicle to Advanced Auto Works for a full suspension checkup.
