Comfort and Confidence from the Ground Up
Common Symptoms of Suspension and Steering Problems
Small changes in how your car drives can be signs of bigger issues. Bring your vehicle in if you notice:
- Pulling to one side while driving or braking
- Clunking, rattling, or squeaking noises over bumps
- Excessive bouncing after hitting potholes
- Uneven or accelerated tire wear
- Steering that feels stiff, loose, or unresponsive
- Vehicle dipping forward when braking or leaning in turns
- Vibrations at highway speeds
These warning signs should never be ignored. Our suspension mechanics will thoroughly inspect your system, explain what we find, and recommend the right repairs to restore your confidence on the road.
Everything Your Steering & Suspension Needs in One Shop
We provide comprehensive suspension and steering repair services for domestic and Asian vehicles. Using OEM-quality or equivalent parts and clear communication, we deliver suspension repairs built to last.
Suspension Inspections
Our technicians carefully inspect shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, and sway bars for wear, leaks, or damage. Early detection allows us to address problems before they affect ride comfort or lead to costly repairs.
Shock & Strut Replacement
Shocks and struts are critical for stability, braking, and ride quality. When worn, they can cause excess bounce, longer stopping distances, and poor handling. We install premium replacements that restore a smooth, controlled ride and extend tire life.
Steering System Repair
Control Arm & Bushing Service
Control arms and bushings help keep your wheels aligned while absorbing the roughness of the road. If they wear out, you might notice clunking sounds, vibration, or uneven tire wear. We restore proper function with quality replacements that bring back stability and comfort.
Sway Bar & Link Repairs
Sway bars minimize body roll and keep your vehicle steady in corners. If your car leans too much during turns or feels unstable, our team can repair or replace sway bars and links to bring back balanced, confident handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my suspension inspected?
We recommend scheduling a suspension inspection at least once a year or every 12,000 miles. Albuquerque’s mix of desert heat, potholes, and mountain roads can accelerate wear, so many drivers benefit from more frequent checks.
Can I keep driving with worn shocks or struts?
You can, but it isn’t safe. Worn shocks and struts increase your stopping distance, reduce stability in corners, and place unnecessary stress on tires and other suspension parts. Addressing the issue early helps protect both safety and your budget.
How does driving style affect suspension wear?
Driving habits play a big role. Frequent hard braking, sharp cornering, or regular travel on rough roads and dirt trails can wear suspension components much faster. Routine inspections allow us to spot small problems before they grow into costly repairs.
Do you service steering and suspension on fleet vehicles?
Yes. Our team offers full suspension and steering care for light- and medium-duty fleets. We also create custom maintenance programs designed to keep business vehicles reliable, reduce downtime, and extend service life.
