Suspension and Steering
Suspension and Steering systems in a car are essential components that work together to provide stability, control, and comfort by managing the vehicle's movements and driver's directional commands.
Suspension and Steering Repair refers to the services focused on maintaining and repairing the components that make up a vehicle's suspension and steering systems. These systems are crucial for ensuring a smooth ride, maintaining vehicle stability, and providing precise steering control.
The suspension system includes shocks, struts, springs, and linkages, while the steering system comprises the steering wheel mechanism, tie rods, and other components.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, our repair services include inspecting and replacing worn or damaged parts, ensuring that these systems function together seamlessly for optimal ride comfort, handling, and safety.
When or why do you need it?
Suspension and Steering Repair is necessary when you notice issues like uneven tire wear, poor handling, excessive bouncing after bumps, steering difficulties, or unusual noises when driving over uneven surfaces.
Regular maintenance is also important to prevent such problems. Properly functioning suspension and steering systems are vital for driver control and passenger comfort.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we recommend timely repairs and regular check-ups to ensure these critical systems are in top condition, which not only enhances your driving experience but also contributes to the overall safety and longevity of your vehicle.

Yes, problems in these systems can lead to additional wear on tires, brakes, and other components, potentially resulting in more extensive repairs.
It's recommended to replace shocks and struts in pairs (front or rear) to maintain balanced suspension performance. Replacing only one can lead to an uneven ride.
We recommend considering replacement every 50,000 miles or sooner if you notice signs of wear. However, the replacement interval can vary based on driving conditions and vehicle type.
