Clunking over bumps or bouncing down the road? Let's find the worn part.

We inspect and replace common bolt-on suspension parts at your location: sway bar links, struts and shocks on many vehicles, and other worn components we can safely reach without a lift.

The visit

What happens when we arrive

  1. Listen for the noise and inspect with the wheels off the ground
  2. Check each joint and bushing for play
  3. Quote the parts we can replace on site
  4. Replace and torque to spec
  5. Tell you if an alignment is needed afterward

When it's a shop job

Parts that change steering geometry, like tie rods or struts, usually need a wheel alignment afterward. Alignments need shop equipment, so we'll tell you up front and recommend getting one done.

Questions people ask

Do I need an alignment after suspension work?

After tie rods, struts, or control arms, usually yes. After sway bar links, usually no.

Can worn suspension hurt my tires?

Yes. Worn struts and loose joints cause uneven wear and can cost you tires early.

Do you do lifted trucks or air suspension?

Tell us what you drive. Some setups are outside what we do on site, and we'll say so.

Stuck somewhere, day or night?

Call now. We'll tell you if it's a driveway fix before we roll.
