UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONING OF STEERING AND SUSPENSION REPAIR SERVICES

The suspension system comprises of various components, including tires, tire air, springs, and linkages that connect a vehicle to its wheels. It facilitates relative movement between the two while ensuring that the road holding/handling and ride quality is optimized, even though they are often at odds with each other. Achieving the correct balance in the suspension system requires precise tuning.

The suspension system must keep the vehicle’s wheels in contact with the road surface as much as possible, as all the forces acting on the vehicle are transmitted through the tires’ contact patches. In addition, suspension repair services are essential for protecting the vehicle, its cargo, and equipment from damage and wear.

As an auto care company, we conduct comprehensive inspections to identify any issues at Elite Auto Repair. Our experienced ASE-certified technicians perform suspension inspections and repairs using a precise procedure to ensure optimal performance.
