Suspension questions & answers
Why is my car clunking over bumps?
Clunks and rattles over bumps often come from worn suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rods, or strut mounts. An inspection identifies the specific worn part.
Can suspension problems cause tire wear?
Yes. Worn suspension or steering parts and misalignment can cause uneven or rapid tire wear. Addressing the cause protects your tires.
Do you do wheel alignment?
