Front & Rear Suspension Service

Your suspension enables you
to handle your vehicle
comfortably and safely.
Without good suspension your
vehicle would bounce and
jerk from every bump in the
road.
Our Suspension Services
Include
-
Suspension Replacement
The entire suspension / strut assembly is
replaced, including new springs, shocks, and
struts. Recommended for heavily damaged
systems.
-
Shock Replacement
Only the shocks will be replaced. This could
result from leaky valves, which allows the
fluid to flow past the shock's piston.
-
Strut
Replacement
Struts are complete suspension assemblies
that loses its natural tension properties as
they fail. It is important to check them if
the vehicle rattles and shakes after hitting
bumps in the road.
Conventional Suspension System
Front: The wheel is attached
to a spindle, which in turn
is connected to upper and
lower control arms through
upper and lower ball joints.
The vehicle's coil spring
works against one of the
control arms to support the
weight of the vehicle, and
the shock absorber keeps the
spring from continuing to
bounce.
Rear: All rear suspension
systems are designed to keep
the rear axle and wheels in
their proper position
(always tracking exactly
straight ahead). The rear
suspension axle allows each
of the rear wheels to move
up and down somewhat
independently from the
frame.
The spring assembly
must also absorb a large
amount of rear end torque
from acceleration (on rear
drive vehicles), side thrust
from turning and road shock
from bumps.
McPherson Strut Suspension System
Unlike other suspension
designs, in McPherson strut
suspension; the telescopic
shock absorber also serves
as a link to control the
position of the wheel.
Therefore it saves the upper
control arm. Since the strut
is vertically positioned,
the whole suspension is very
compact.
For front-wheel
drive cars, whose engine and
transmission are all located
inside the front
compartment, they need front
suspensions which take-up
very little width of the
car. McPherson strut
suspension is the most
suitable one..
