Suspension Repair in Richmond, VA

The suspension on your vehicle is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers, and linkages that connects a vehicle to it's wheels and allows relative motion between the two.  Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality which are at odds with each other.  Your suspension provides driving comfort by making bumps smoother.  It also gives you more traction by keeping the wheels on the ground as much as possible.  Over time parts of your suspension like

shocks, struts, springs, tier rods or ball joints will begin to wear out or break completely.  When this happens it can cause you to lose complete control of your car.  This is why it's crucial to get your car looked at if you feel like you're having suspension problems.
