Steering and Suspension System Repairs in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Federal Way, WA

The steering and suspension systems are responsible for creating a smooth and controlled ride, affecting how your vehicle handles on the road. A properly functioning steering and suspension system keeps your tires firmly on the ground, providing stability and precise handling. Should you require repairs, maintenance, or inspections of your vehicle's steering or suspension system, contact Eagle Tire & Automotive. Our expert technicians will ensure that your vehicle remains in top condition, delivering the comfort and handling you expect. We'll look at the shocks, struts, springs, and various linkages that connect your wheels to the rest of your vehicle. Over time, these components can wear out or become damaged, leading to issues such as uneven tire wear, poor alignment, and a rough ride. Regular maintenance of your steering and suspension system not only prolongs the life of your vehicle but also enhances its performance.

Signs My Car Needs Steering or Suspension Repairs

Recognizing the signs of steering and suspension issues will give you an opportunity to act quicker. Here are some common indicators that it's time to have your steering system or suspension system inspected:

• Uneven Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels or worn suspension components can cause uneven distribution of weight and pressure on the tires, leading to irregular wear patterns.
• Vibrations in the Steering Wheel: Worn or damaged suspension parts, such as tie rods or ball joints, can cause vibrations that are felt through the steering wheel, especially at higher speeds.
• Pulling to One Side: Misalignment or uneven tire pressure due to suspension issues can cause the vehicle to pull to one side while driving.
• Excessive Bouncing: Worn-out shock absorbers or struts can lead to excessive bouncing after hitting a bump, as they fail to dampen the motion effectively.
• Clunking or Knocking Noises: Loose or worn suspension components, such as control arms or bushings, can produce clunking sounds when driving over bumps or making turns.
• Poor Handling and Stability: Faulty suspension parts can reduce the vehicle's ability to maintain stability during cornering, leading to poor handling performance.
• Steering Difficulty or Stiffness: Issues with the power steering system or worn steering components can make steering more difficult or cause stiffness.
• Nose Diving While Braking: Worn shocks or struts can cause the vehicle's front end to dip excessively when braking, indicating inadequate support from the suspension.

Some signs may be related to issues elsewhere in your vehicle.
