Suspension Repair in Queens, New York
A Smooth-and-Steady Ride: Guaranteed
Every driver expects a smooth and stable ride when they hit the road. What does it mean if it’s rough instead, or if you have difficulty steering? More often than not, the problem lies in the suspension system. Essential Auto Care is Queens, New York’s prime spot for car care, and we are here to assist with all suspension repair services.
What’s Wrong with My Suspension?
The suspension system contains several parts, but some of the most important include the shocks, struts, springs, ball joints, bushings, and control arms, each of which can experience its own issues. Shocks and struts gradually break down and will eventually require replacement. Sometimes, a leak can even happen with the shocks or struts, requiring repair or replacement. Once they start to go bad, a myriad of different components can be affected. Ball joints can fail. The springs, which are the components that hold up your vehicle, are notorious for wearing and experiencing damage (which can happen as a result of a sudden impact such as a deep pothole). Both bushings and control arms experience wear over time, and improper wheel alignment may even lead to the need for suspension repair.
What Are the Signs of a Bad Suspension?
A car’s suspension is responsible for supplying the agility you feel when you drive. If your ride suddenly changes and becomes rougher, which means you can feel every bump or flaw in the road, the suspension may be to blame. Changes to your steering are also indicative of suspension problems. Symptoms include difficulty when steering, especially at low speeds, and pulling to one side even when driving straight. Visually, your vehicle may sit lower at one corner, which normally means a broken or worn spring, or you may notice the shock absorbers or struts are oily. If you’re experiencing one of the above or have other concerns, contact our team. A thorough inspection will be needed to troubleshoot the exact problem and provide a suspension repair plan—we even offer complimentary inspections for your convenience and peace of mind.
