Steering and Suspension Are Safety Parts
Your suspension keeps the tires on the road and your steering keeps the car going where you point it. When parts wear, it starts as a noise or a vague feel in the wheel and ends with a car that doesn't stop straight or handle a pothole well. Call (302) 803-3906 if something feels off.
Kent County roads are hard on front ends. We put the car on the lift, check every joint and bushing, and show you what's loose, what's worn and what can wait.
What We Check and Replace
The parts that wear, and what they feel like when they do.
Shocks and Struts
A car that bounces after a bump, dives under braking or leans hard in turns has tired shocks or struts.
Ball Joints
A clunk from the front end over bumps or while turning. Worn ball joints are a safety problem, not just a noise.
Tie Rod Ends
Loose steering, a wheel that wanders on the highway, or uneven wear on the edges of the front tires.
Control Arms and Bushings
Rubber bushings crack with age and let the suspension shift, which shows up as clunks and pulling.
Sway Bar Links
A rattle or knock over small bumps at low speed is often a worn sway bar link, one of the cheaper fixes on the list.
Power Steering
Heavy steering, whining when you turn, or fluid leaks point to the pump, rack or hoses.

Where the noise comes from, when it happens, and how long it has been going on.

Lift Inspection
We check each joint, bushing and shock for play, leaks and wear, and look at your tire wear pattern for clues.

Repair and Road Test
Once you approve the work, we replace the worn parts and road test it. After front-end parts are replaced, an alignment is usually needed; we'll tell you if yours does.
