Suspension Parts & Performance
Shocks – Do you notice your car’s ride is bouncy? Then you may be in need of new shocks. Shocks allow vehicle’s to absorb or isolate road shock, energy, impulses or shocks from entering your passenger compartment. Driving with bad shocks is not a safe, so try to avoid it whenever possible.
Struts – Car struts, like shock absorbers, support and stabilize a vehicle’s frame and body. Almost identical to the purpose of the shocks above but designed a little bit different. The average life of a strut before they start deteriorating is roughly 50,000 miles. Worn suspension struts may diminish the stability and therefore safety of your vehicle and which will also reduce driving control.
Ball Joints -Ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. When a ball joint is bad enough it will produce a clunk (noise, feel) from the front end when ever u hit a bump. A ball joint consists of a bearing, stud and socket enclosed in a case. Grease will act as a secondary absorber plus friction reducer which is critical for performance & safety.
Sway Bar – Your vehicles sway bar, anti-roll bar, stabilizer bar, is a part of an automobile suspension that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities or imperfections. They are also sometimes called anti-sway bars or anti-roll bars. A sway bar links the right side and left side of your car, acting as a torsional spring to resist body roll and keep your tires planted during launches.
Stabilizer Link – Also known as a sway bar end link. Is your vehicle clunking when your car hits a bump, might be your sway bar end link is broke. Typically your sway bar end link is what connects your sway bar to your lower control arm. Sometimes your sway bar end link bushings go bad before your actual links break.
Tie Rod – Your vehicles tie rods are part of your steering system. It’s typically the part that connects your steering gear or rack to your steering knuckle otherwise known as your steering spindle. Typically as they go bad you’ll hear a little knocking sound coming from your front end. And or you may even feel a little slop in your steering wheel when turning from side to side.
