Suspension Maintenance and Repair at Master AutoTech Orem
Even when Orem’s roads aren’t under construction, you can face less-than-ideal driving conditions in your vehicle. Make your ride as smooth as possible by giving appropriate attention to your vehicle’s suspension system. For day-to-day driving or in preparation for a long road trip, it’s important that your shocks, struts, and springs are in tip-top shape. Over time, even routine driving can cause wear and tear on your suspension system, requiring maintenance and repairs.

Why Suspension Maintenance is Critical
Your suspension is responsible for each and every smooth ride you enjoy. Understanding each part of the suspension system and what it does helps you be a more informed driver, saving you from costly, unexpected repairs down the road. Here’s what you need to know about key suspension components in your vehicle:
Ball Joints
Ball joints allow your wheels to move freely while staying properly aligned. Because so much is literally riding on the ball joints, it’s crucial to have them inspected for dirt and moisture regularly.
Control Arms
Control arms connect the wheels to your car’s body and help keep the tires aligned. They can get bent or corroded, so have our team inspect suspension control arms routinely.
Bushings
Bushings are made of rubber and act as vibration absorbers while you drive. These rubbery cushions should be routinely inspected.
Springs
Springs in the suspension system not only absorb shocks from the road but support the weight of your vehicle as well. You might have compromised springs if your vehicle seems to sit lower than normal.
Shocks (Dampers)
Together with suspension springs, shocks also help reduce excessive movement when driving.
Struts
If you thought springs and shocks were enough, think again! Struts are like a combination of the two, adding further stabilization and support for your vehicle over uneven surfaces.
Regular Suspension System Inspection and Maintenance
To avoid suspension problems and catch any damage early, it’s best to have your suspension system inspected at least once a year at Master AutoTech Orem. Scheduling this inspection alongside your annual alignment is a convenient way to increase the performance and safety of your vehicle.
Common Signs of Suspension Issues
Suspension components bear the brunt of your daily driving in Orem, leading to common problems such as:
Bumpy Ride:
If your vehicle feels excessively bumpy or shaky, it could indicate worn-out shocks, struts, or springs.
Uneven Tire Wear:
Uneven tire wear, such as excessive wear on the inner or outer edges of the tires, can be a sign of misaligned suspension components.
Pulling to One Side:
If your car pulls to the left or right while driving, it could be due to misaligned suspension components or worn-out ball joints.
Nosedive or Squat:
If the front end of your car dips excessively when braking or the rear end squats when accelerating, it could indicate worn-out shocks or struts.
Leaking Fluid:
If you notice a puddle of fluid under your car, it could be a leak from a suspension component, such as a shock or strut.
Clunking or Squeaking Noises:
Clunking or squeaking noises when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces can indicate worn-out or damaged suspension components.
