The Importance of Proper Alignment and Suspension
While suspension and alignment isn’t as flashy or exciting as a other vehicle parts, they are important. A vehicle’s alignment and suspension systems work together to make sure you have a comfortable ride, good handling, and optimal tire wear. When these systems are in good shape, you’ll enjoy better fuel efficiency, improved safety, and a longer lifespan for your tires and other vehicle components. Our comprehensive approach means we don’t just fix the immediate issue, we’ll look for underlying causes and potential future problems to try to save you money and heart-ache in the long run. When suspension and alignment is happy, so is the rest of your car.
Alignment is More Than Just Driving Straight
Wheel alignment is about more than just making sure your car isn’t pulling to one side. It’s a beautifully complex system of adjustments that makes sure your wheels are positioned correctly in relation to each other and to the road. Without proper alignment you may see things like uneven and premature tire wear due to misaligned wheels which can cost you money and hurt safety. When your wheels are aligned, your engine doesn’t have to work as hard, improving fuel economy. Alignment also reduces vibrations and makes sure your vehicle responds correctly when you turn the steering wheel.
Suspension Helps Comfort and Control
Your suspension system is what makes driving comfortable, but it does more than just that. It’s crucial for maintaining control of your vehicle. Suspension is made up of a few important parts like shocks, struts, springs, and linkages. When these systems are maintained you’ll notice that your vehicle can absorb road shocks better. It cushions the impact of bumps and potholes, protecting your spine, passengers and vehicle. It keeps your tires in constant contact with the road which is essential for traction and control. It distributes the weight of your vehicle evenly and works with your steering to make sure you have responsive and accurate control.
