Care for your vehicle
Your suspension supports the vehicle and helps the tires follow the road. We offer suspension service for ride and handling concerns.
Clunks, uneven ride height, or unsettled handling may involve worn joints, bushings, springs, or other components. Tire condition can also affect the way the vehicle feels.
Before your visit
Describe the type of road and speed at which the symptom appears. Mention a recent pothole impact or curb contact, even if the concern developed later.
Keep the tires in controlled contact with the road
Springs, dampers, arms, joints, and bushings support the vehicle and control wheel movement. Wear in one part can influence ride quality, tire wear, or steering response. A clunk over bumps does not identify one specific failed component; several connections and moving parts may need inspection.
When to arrange an inspection
- Clunks over bumps or an unsettled ride
- Uneven tire wear or a vehicle sitting unevenly
- Changes in cornering feel or stability
Look beyond ride comfort
Suspension condition affects more than how softly the vehicle rides. Tell us about recent pothole impacts, added loads, and tire-wear changes. After some suspension repairs, an alignment check may be appropriate. Ask how the recommended work relates to the concern you noticed and whether other parts show wear that should be monitored.
