Suspension and steering repair in Oshawa, ON
Suspension and steering keep the tires on the road and the car responding to the wheel. Worn parts are a safety issue, not just a comfort one.
What our suspension and steering service includes
Suspension inspection
We check struts, shocks, springs, control arms, bushings and ball joints for wear and play.
Steering inspection
Tie rods, the steering rack and related parts checked for looseness or leaks.
Repair and alignment
Worn parts replaced, and alignment checked afterward, since the angles change when parts are replaced.
Signs of suspension or steering wear
- Clunks or knocks over bumps
- The car bounces or keeps rocking after a bump
- Steering feels loose, heavy or has play in it
- The car pulls or wanders, or the nose dives when braking
- Uneven or cupped tire wear
Potholes and salt wear these parts out
Rough roads and winter salt shorten the life of bushings, ball joints and tie rods. Most wear is gradual, so people get used to a car that has slowly gotten worse.
If a noise or a change in handling makes you nervous, book it in. Steering parts that are worn enough to fail are not something to keep driving on.

Suspension and steering questions
Noises and a bouncy ride usually point to suspension. Pulling and uneven tire wear can be either. An inspection tells us which.
