Shock Absorber and Strut Service

Worn dampers allow excessive body motion and reduce tire contact with road surfaces during cornering and braking. Bouncing over bumps, nose diving during stops, and swaying through curves indicate deteriorated shock absorbers requiring replacement. Our technicians inspect damper condition and install quality replacements that restore proper ride control.

Shock Absorber Replacement

Hydraulic shocks lose damping capability as internal seals wear and fluid bypasses pistons during compression cycles. We install replacement units matched to your vehicle specifications and intended driving conditions throughout Metro Atlanta.

Strut Assembly Service

MacPherson struts combine spring mounting with damping function, requiring specialized procedures for safe replacement. Our technicians perform complete strut assemblies including new mounts and bump stops when necessary.

Air Suspension Repair

Vehicles equipped with pneumatic ride height systems develop leaks in bladders, lines, and compressor assemblies over time. We diagnose electronic and mechanical faults affecting air suspension operation and perform appropriate repairs.

Power Steering Service

Hydraulic and electric assist systems reduce effort required to turn the wheel during parking maneuvers and low-speed operation. We service pumps, racks, and electronic modules that provide steering assistance across the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Rack and Pinion Replacement

Steering racks develop internal wear and external leaks that produce loose handling and fluid loss over accumulated mileage. Complete rack replacement restores precise steering response and eliminates hydraulic seepage from worn seals.

Tie Rod Replacement

Inner and outer tie rods connect the steering rack to wheel assemblies, transmitting driver input to change vehicle direction. Worn joints produce clunking sounds and allow toe angle changes that cause irregular tire wear.

Steering Column Service

Universal joints, bearings, and intermediate shafts within the steering column assembly wear from repeated rotation over years of operation. We diagnose and repair column components that produce binding, noise, or excessive play.

Understanding Wheel Bearing Failure Signs Sounds and Solutions

Steering System Diagnosis and Correction

Wandering at highway speeds, excessive play in the wheel, and difficult turning indicate problems within the steering mechanism requiring attention. Ignoring developing symptoms allows accelerated wear on related components and compromises vehicle control. Our technicians evaluate all steering elements to identify exactly what repairs become necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Excessive bouncing over bumps, uneven tire wear, and nose diving during braking suggest worn shocks or struts requiring replacement. Clunking sounds over rough pavement and vehicle pulling to one side also warrant professional chassis evaluation.
Most dampers provide adequate service for 50,000 to 75,000 miles depending on road conditions and driving habits. Georgia roads with frequent potholes and construction zones may accelerate wear compared to smooth highway surfaces.
Deteriorated shocks allow excessive weight transfer during stops, reducing tire contact and extending stopping distances. Maintaining proper damper function supports consistent braking effectiveness throughout the Metro Atlanta region.
Imbalanced tires, worn tie rod ends, and warped brake rotors commonly produce vibrations felt through the steering column. Proper diagnosis identifies whether chassis components or other systems contribute to the symptom.
Our technicians possess training for adaptive damping and active suspension technologies used in modern vehicles. We diagnose electronic control modules and sensors alongside mechanical components throughout the Atlanta area.
Impact damage bends control arms, shifts alignment angles, and damages ball joints, causing directional pull following collision with road hazards. Inspection reveals which components sustained damage requiring replacement before alignment correction.
