Provo Shocks & Struts

Cruising through Utah’s stunning canyons is a joy, but a bumpy ride can quickly ruin the experience. That’s where your car’s suspension system comes in. It absorbs shocks from uneven roads, potholes, and those surprise bumps, keeping your drive comfortable and ensuring optimal tire contact for confident handling and braking.

However, constant use takes a toll on suspension components like shocks, struts, and ball joints. Worn parts compromise performance and safety, leading to a rough ride, reduced handling, and longer stopping distances. Regular inspection and maintenance are key to preventing these issues and keeping your Provo adventures smooth and safe.

Our skilled technicians are experts in diagnosing and repairing all aspects of your car’s suspension system. We’ll thoroughly assess your vehicle, identify any worn or damaged parts, and recommend the necessary repairs to get you back on the road with confidence.

Imagine these as the flexible hips of your suspension, allowing for free wheel movement while maintaining proper alignment. Our technicians inspect for looseness or worn boots that trap dirt and moisture. If needed, we replace ball joints individually or in pairs for balanced handling.

Control arms connect your wheels to the car’s body, keeping them steady and aligned. Our team inspects for bent or worn bushings and replaces damaged control arms as necessary.

These rubber cushions absorb noise and vibration for a smoother ride. Regular inspections are key. We can press out and replace worn bushings to restore your comfort.

These heavy lifters support your vehicle’s weight and absorb bumps. If your car sits lower than usual or feels unstable, our technicians will inspect the springs for sagging or broken coils. We replace worn or broken springs in pairs for even handling.

Working alongside springs, shocks control their movement and prevent excessive bouncing. Listen for unusual noises like rattling or clunking, especially over bumps, and watch for leaks or damage. If your shocks are worn, we’ll replace them in pairs for optimal performance.

These combine the functions of shocks and springs, often playing a structural role. Pay attention to the same signs of wear and tear as with shocks and springs. Our mechanics can replace worn or damaged struts in pairs for your safety and comfort.

The constant wear and tear of driving Utah’s roads can take a toll on your suspension. While replacements typically occur around 50,000 miles for suspension components, factors like accidents, towing, off-roading, or even hitting a pothole can accelerate wear and necessitate earlier repairs.

Here are some common signs of suspension trouble to watch out for:

• Uneven tire wear

• Vibration or shaking while driving

• Rattling or clunking sounds

• Pulling to one side

• Shocks bottoming out on bumps

• Excessive bouncing

• Nose-diving when braking or squatting when accelerating

• Leaking oil from suspension components

If you notice any of these signs, don’t ignore them! Prompt inspection is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure your safety on the road.

Our experienced technicians have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair any suspension issue. We’re committed to keeping your car in top shape, ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience, no matter where your Provo adventures take you.
