Shocks / Struts
shocks / struts
Your car’s suspension and steering systems play a pivotal role in enabling the wheels to move independently from the vehicle while maintaining stability and support. Any form of looseness or unregulated motion in these systems leads to compromised handling and quicker tire degradation. The state of the suspension and steering systems is intricately linked to the alignment of the vehicle.
Steering Systems
Deteriorated or loosely fitting components can impact the ability to manage the toe angle, potentially leading to a decrease in directional stability and an expedited rate of tire wear. The key components of a Conventional system include:
- Steering Gear Box
- Center Link
- Pitman Arm
- Idler Arm
- Tie Rods
In addition to the components mentioned earlier, a Conventional steering system may also include:
- Rack and Pinion Assembly
- Bellows Boots
- Tie Rod
Suspension System
When components within the suspension system become worn or loose, they impede the system’s capacity to regulate motion and alignment angles. This leads to a decline in vehicle handling and stability, as well as an increase in tire wear. The key components of the suspension system encompass:
- Control Arms
- Ball Joints
- Springs (Coil or Leaf)
- Shock Absorbers
- Struts
