Suspension FAQs

How often should I replace shocks and struts?

Most shocks and struts last 50,000-100,000 miles, depending on road conditions and driving style. If you notice a bouncy ride or the vehicle sways excessively, have them inspected.

Why is wheel alignment important?

Proper alignment extends tire life, improves fuel economy, and ensures safe handling. We recommend an alignment after replacing suspension parts or hitting a significant pothole.

Can I drive with a bad ball joint?

No. A failed ball joint can cause the wheel to detach from the vehicle, resulting in a serious accident. If you hear a clunking sound or notice loose steering, stop driving immediately.
