Suspension repair in Calgary.
Feeling every bump, pulling to one side or a corner sitting low. We find the cause, give you an estimate, and only start once you say yes.
How suspension works
Your suspension is the system between the wheels and the body of the car: the tires and the air in them, the springs, the shock absorbers and struts, and the links that hold it all together. When it works, the ride is smooth and the car steers where you point it. When it does not, you notice.
Motor Bay Auto Repair repairs and maintains suspension on most makes and models, domestic and import.
Signs of a suspension problem
- The car pulls to one side
- One corner sits lower than the others
- You feel every bump in the road
- Your tires are wearing unevenly
- The nose dips or the back squats
- Steering stays hard or feels off
Suspension problems get worse the longer they are left. Uneven tire wear is often the first sign, so it can also pay to check your wheel alignment and book a tire rotation.
What we look at
We start by talking through what the car is doing, then look at how it drives. Several parts can cause the same symptom. The most common repairs include:
- Shock absorbers
- Struts
- Sway bar and stabilizer links
- Tie rods
- Ball joints
- Control arms
Before any work starts you get a detailed estimate for parts and labour. Nothing is added without your yes.
