Can worn suspension fail a safety inspection in Sandy?

It can. Worn ball joints, tie rod ends or badly leaking shocks are the kind of thing a safety inspection looks for. Sandy runs its own safety and emissions testing lane, so anything found can be repaired and the vehicle rechecked in the same place.

What causes uneven tire wear?

Most often alignment, worn suspension components or incorrect tire pressure rather than the tires themselves. Replacing tires without fixing the cause just wears the new set the same way, so we look at what is underneath them before recommending anything.

Is suspension work at the Sandy shop covered nationwide?

Qualifying suspension work at Sandy carries a 36 month, 36,000 mile warranty through the NAPA AutoCare network, honored at participating shops across the country. Sandy is an AAA Approved Auto Repair facility and the designated number one NAPA shop worldwide.

Steering and Suspension Repair at our Sandy shop

At McNeil's Auto Care, we are experts in the suspension system. Your suspension system is important to your vehicle’s ride quality and comfort. It maximizes the friction between the tires and the road, creating stable steering and optimal handling. The suspension is located on your vehicle’s undercarriage and comprises many components, such as shocks, struts, springs, ball joints, bearings, bushings, tie rods, and control arms. Each piece plays a role that is integral to how the suspension performs. For example, bushings help absorb road bumps, control joint movement, and reduce noise and vibration. Meanwhile, control arms enable you to steer your vehicle and guide the wheels up and down. If one of the suspension components becomes compromised, your performance and safety become compromised. At our auto shop, we have the means to diagnose and treat various suspension problems properly! Contact our suspension repair specialists today to learn more.

Your suspension system can develop problems from various instances, such as wearing parts, road damage, or steering system issues. You will likely experience a shift in how your vehicle performs when there is a suspension problem, providing ample time to bring it in for an inspection. One of the most common signs of suspension issues is continued bouncing after hitting a bump. Another is a drifting or pulling sensation when driving straight or turning. Other indicators that may warrant suspension repair include dipping when braking, difficulty steering, and one side of your vehicle sitting lower than the other. Be it a bent control arm, damaged spring, or bad bushing, ignoring suspension problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, such as excessive tire wear, alignment problems, and even accidents. With our state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques, we provide comprehensive suspension repairs for all makes and models.
