Steering & Suspension
Shock, strut, ball joint, tie rod and power steering repair in Lakewood for a steady, controlled ride.
Steering and suspension keep the tires planted and give you control over bumps, corners and stops. When parts wear, handling, braking and tire life suffer.
We inspect the whole system and recommend repairs based on your vehicle’s condition, not a generic list.

What will it cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle and what the inspection turns up. You get the options and an estimate first, and nothing is done until you approve it.
What happens during your visit
Road test
A test drive tells us how the vehicle rides, steers and brakes.
Inspect
With the vehicle on a lift, we look for looseness, leaks and worn parts.
Explain
You see what we found, with safety items listed first.
Repair & align
We finish the approved repairs and check the alignment.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Frequently. New struts, tie rods or control arms can shift the wheel angles, and we’ll tell you if an alignment makes sense.
How do I know if my shocks or struts are worn?
Watch for a bouncy ride, the nose dipping under braking, body lean in corners, or fluid on the shock or strut. We’ll inspect them if you’re unsure.
