Wheel Alignment
We precisely adjust the angles of your vehicle’s wheels—camber, caster, and toe—to ensure optimal tire contact with the road, using advanced laser alignment technology. This service corrects misalignments caused by potholes, curbs, or wear, improving handling, enhancing steering precision, and reducing uneven tire wear. Proper alignment boosts fuel efficiency, extends tire lifespan, and ensures a safer, more comfortable driving experience, particularly during sharp turns or high-speed driving.
Shock Absorber and Strut Replacement
We replace worn or leaking shock absorbers and struts with high-quality, vehicle-specific components to restore smooth ride quality, vehicle stability, and control. Our technicians inspect the suspension system to identify signs of failure, such as bouncing, nose-diving, or uneven tire wear, and install replacements that match your vehicle’s handling requirements. This service improves braking performance, enhances cornering stability, and ensures a comfortable ride, even on rough roads.
Steering Rack and Pinion Inspection and Repair
We thoroughly inspect the steering rack and pinion system for leaks, wear, or damage, checking fluid levels, seals, and gear functionality to ensure precise steering control. If issues are detected, we repair the system by replacing seals or components, or install a new rack and pinion unit tailored to your vehicle. This service eliminates steering looseness, reduces wandering, and restores responsive handling, ensuring safe and confident navigation in all driving conditions.
Ball Joint and Tie Rod Replacement
We replace worn or damaged ball joints and tie rods with durable, vehicle-specific parts to eliminate loose or imprecise steering and ensure proper suspension movement. Our technicians inspect these critical components for play, corrosion, or boot damage, addressing issues that cause clunking, vibrations, or uneven tire wear. This service restores stable handling, maintains proper wheel alignment, and enhances safety by preventing suspension or steering failure during operation.
Suspension Bushing Replacement
We replace deteriorated or cracked rubber bushings in control arms, sway bars, or other suspension components with high-quality replacements to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness. Our technicians assess bushing condition to identify wear that causes squeaking, poor handling, or misalignment, ensuring precise installation for optimal performance. This service improves ride comfort, enhances suspension responsiveness, and extends the lifespan of related components, delivering a smoother and quieter driving experience.

What does a steering and suspension service involve, and why is it important?
A steering and suspension service at Village Auto Service includes wheel alignment to ensure proper tire contact, replacing worn shocks or struts, repairing steering racks, and replacing components like ball joints, tie rods, or bushings. This is vital for maintaining vehicle stability, precise steering, and a smooth ride. Regular maintenance prevents issues like uneven tire wear, poor handling, or vibrations, ensuring safety, comfort, and control, especially on rough roads or during sharp turns.
How often should I have my steering and suspension system serviced?
Steering and suspension components should be inspected every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers or annually, with alignments recommended every 12,000 kilometers or after hitting major potholes. Shocks and struts may need replacement every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, depending on driving conditions. At Village Auto Service, our technicians evaluate your vehicle’s condition and driving habits to recommend a tailored service schedule, preventing wear-related issues and maintaining optimal handling.
What are the signs that my steering or suspension system needs service?
Common signs include uneven tire wear, pulling to one side while driving, a bumpy or bouncy ride, clunking noises over bumps, loose or unresponsive steering, or vibrations in the steering wheel. These may indicate misaligned wheels, worn shocks, or damaged steering components. Village Auto Service uses advanced diagnostics to identify the issue and performs targeted services like alignment or strut replacement to restore stability and precise control.
How long does a steering and suspension service take, and will it improve my vehicle’s handling?
A steering and suspension service at Village Auto Service typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the task (e.g., a wheel alignment is quicker than strut or steering rack replacement). This service significantly improves handling by restoring proper wheel alignment, smoothing out rides, and ensuring responsive steering. For example, new shocks enhance stability, while a repaired steering rack improves control, making your vehicle safer and more comfortable to drive in all conditions.
