Steering and Suspension are two separate components of your vehicle that work together to keep your vehicle under control. These components are responsible for stable road control, drivability, and handling. Over time, these parts may have what we call “wear”, which means what it sounds like, parts wear out. Many parts in steering and suspension must move, similar to elbow joints in your body. If the joints are dried out, you may hear creaking and popping. Wear can also cause “slop” in your steering. Steering and suspension part failures are serious and can lead to other issues, like wearing tires unevenly or worse, causing loss of control of the vehicle. Front end inspections can pinpoint any current or upcoming issues as part of a preventive maintenance plan.
