Suspension Work Including Control Arms, Bushings, Ball Joints & Sway Bar Links and More at Accomplished Auto
Restore the ride handling and safety of your vehicle
Your vehicle’s suspension does more than you think. It is what allows the car to ride smoothy over bumps and uneven terrain. A smooth ride is your shocks struts and springs working with the control arms bushings and ball joints. This allows the wheels to move up and down in a controlled manner. While at the same time keeping the tires aligned in the direction you want to travel while reducing wear and rolling resistance. All of this helps the car maintain a smooth stable ride and control while driving.
Have you ever noticed looseness in your steering, creaking or clunking over bumps. This is an indication that some of those components are becoming worn. This can contribute to worn tires, lower fuel mileage and even unsafe handling. Especially during emergency maneuvers. If you find yourself rattling down the road do not wait until something fails have it inspected today.
We will professionally inspect all of your suspension components. Then advise and estimate any needed repairs or replacement. We can service all types of suspension components. This will restore your vehicle’s original ride quality and stability.
Why These Components Are So Important
Control Arms: These link your wheels to the frame and control their movement. In NH rust is a common thing to weaken them as well as freezing temperatures deteriorating the rubber bushings installed in them. This can lead to them bending or breaking causing loss of control. They can also shift out of position causing wheels to be misaligned. This leads to poor handling and increased tire wear and reduced efficiency.
Ball Joints: These pivot points allow your wheels to turn and move with the suspension. Ball joints wear overtime especially if the rubber boots that keep dirt and moisture out and lubrication in is compromised. If it separates completely the car can collapse to the ground causing loss of control and substantial secondary damage.
Bushings: These rubber or polyurethane parts isolate vibration and keep alignment true. They can wear, crack and even separate from their metal components. This can cause the suspension components to become misaligned and even shift in unexpected ways. This can cause handling and tire wear issues.
Sway Bar Links: These connect the sway bar to the suspension. This reduces body roll in corners. When they become loose they start to make clunking noises over bumps. When they fail the vehicle can lean excessively in turns and even cause skidding and handling issues in emergency maneuvers.
Even minor wear can make a big difference. Especially in emergency maneuvers when you need to react quickly to avoid another vehicle or obstacle.
Symptoms of Worn Suspension Components
You may need suspension service if you notice:
- Clunking or rattling sounds when driving over bumps
- Vehicle pulls to one side or feels loose on the highway
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Steering feels sloppy or requires constant correction
- Vibrations or wandering when braking or accelerating
The Cost of Ignoring Suspension Wear
A worn or damaged suspension system affects more than ride comfort. It impacts your safety and your wallet. Poor suspension alignment forces the tires to drag and scrub across the pavement, reducing fuel economy and tire life. It also increases braking distance and driver fatigue because you’re constantly working to keep the vehicle straight.
When a control arm or ball joint fails completely, it can cause an immediate loss of steering control, putting you and everyone on the road at risk.
