Describe the clunk — (720) 315-7158Worn Suspension Changes How a Vehicle Stops and Steers
Shocks and struts do more than smooth the ride. They keep the tires pressed to the road, which matters for braking and for holding a line through a curve on US-6. Ball joints and tie rods hold the wheels where they belong. When those parts wear, stopping distances grow and the steering gets vague.
Our free inspection checks every suspension and steering joint with the vehicle lifted, looks for leaking dampers and listens for knocks on a test drive. You get the findings ranked by safety, so parts that affect control come first and comfort items can be planned.
Gravel driveways and rough frontage roads speed up this wear, so a check every year or two pays off for drivers around Georgetown.

Suspension Questions Drivers Ask
Should shocks be replaced in pairs?
Yes. Replacing only one side leaves the vehicle unbalanced, because a new damper controls movement differently from a worn one. Shocks and struts are fitted across the axle so both sides behave the same way.
How long do shocks and struts usually last?
It depends heavily on the roads. Gravel, washboard surfaces and frost heaves shorten their life considerably. Rather than replacing them by mileage, we check for leaks, bounce and tire wear and replace them when they stop doing their job.
