Suspension Service at Mark Christopher Auto Center

Steering and suspension systems, along with the tires, help keep you in control of your vehicle. If wheel alignment is off, it can affect steering, or if your suspension is damaged, it can impact steering. The suspension system cushions your ride and ensures that only your tires are touching the road and surface that you drive on. Since suspension also affects steering, it is easy to see why these systems are important in keeping your vehicle on the road. If you live in Los Angeles, Temecula, or Jurupa Valley, you can bring your vehicle in to Mark Christopher Auto Center for professional suspension service to keep your vehicle safely under your control through regular suspension service.

If you find that your vehicle bounces, sways, squeaks, or creaks, or if your steering wheel is harder to turn than usual, it can mean you have a problem with your suspension. One of the best things you can do is to bring your vehicle into Mark Christopher Auto Center to have our technicians inspect your suspension and steering to evaluate the problem and provide repairs if needed.

Suspension Service Near Jurupa Valley, CA

For most people, they think nothing of their vehicle’s suspension unless the ride gets rough. The bouncing and squeaking aren’t the only signs that there is something wrong with your suspension.

  • If your car, truck, SUV, or minivan leans too much into the turn
  • If the rear of your vehicle scrapes the road when you accelerate
  • If the front of your vehicle takes a nosedive when you apply your brakes

These are signs of a damaged or faulty suspension. With suspension service, our expert technicians will evaluate your suspension issues and will repair or replace the necessary components to correct your suspension and give you back control of the vehicle.

How Do I Know If My Suspension Is Damaged?

Here are some other signs and symptoms that your suspension needs to be serviced:

  • A corner of your vehicle sits lower than the others.
  • You try the “bounce test” (lean all your weight on the front of your parked vehicle and then jump back quickly and see how your vehicle responds), and it bounces more than twice.
  • Your tire tread develops uneven wear patterns.
  • You see oil or grease, or you identify signs of noticeable wear on your shocks and struts.
  • You hear squeaking when turning or braking.
  • Your ride is rough.
  • Your car leans forward or to one side or the other when you apply brakes.
  • Drifting or pulling around turns.
