What are some crucial suspension repair services needed for cars?

Ball Joint Replacement

The ball joints are responsible for connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles, which allows for the smooth movement of the suspension and steering. They play a crucial role in controlling the wheels’ up-and-down and left-to-right movement. Over the years, the ball joints start to wear out due to continuous usage and exposure to road debris, moisture, and impacts, which affect the functioning of the suspension. Contact us at Motor Cars International, located near Bridgewater, to have your ball joint replaced.

Bushings Replacement

The bushings are composed of rubber or polyurethane components that help cushion the connection points between various suspension components, such as the control arms, sway bars, and shock mounts. They help in absorbing road shocks, reduce noise, and allow proper movement to make your ride comfortable. Over the years, the bushings can harden, crack, or deteriorate due to age, heat, and road contaminants. Get in touch with us at Motor Cars International, located in the vicinity of Bridgewater, to get your bushings replaced.

Shock and Strut Replacement

The shocks and struts are essential components that play a crucial role in absorbing the impact of bad road surfaces and help in maintaining tire contact with the road. Moreover, the shocks help dampen the movement of the suspension springs, while the struts play a dual role as both shock absorbers and a structural part of the suspension. Over the years, these components wear out, and you start experiencing a rough, bouncy ride, nose-diving during braking, and reduced handling potential. Reach out to us at our garage, located in the Bridgewater neighborhood, to have your shocks and struts replaced.

Coil Spring Replacement

The coil springs are responsible for supporting the vehicle’s weight and also help maintain the required ride height by compressing and expanding as the suspension moves. The coil spring works in conjunction with the shocks and struts to help smooth out the ride and maintain tire contact with the road. Over the years, coil springs can encounter various problems, including loss of tension, breakage, and sagging, due to factors such as excessive load, rust, and metal fatigue. You should contact a certified mechanic to assist with replacing your coil spring.

Complete Suspension Maintenance Guaranteed

Your car’s suspension is actually part of the chassis, which makes up all the important systems under your car’s body. As far as your suspension is concerned, there are three fundamental components that need to be serviced annually:
