STEERING AND SUSPENSION OVERVIEW
Steering and suspension components play a much more vital role than delivering a smooth ride and comfortable handling. In fact, many of these parts have a large affect on braking ability and tire wear. Indicators of steering & Suspension Symptoms Include:
- Crunching or popping noise over bumps or dips
- Front of vehicle dips or pulls when braking
- Tires seem to jolt forward when braking
- Hard steeriing
- Loss of steering over bumps
- Steering slips
- Groaning or whining when turning
- Fluid leaks
- Uneven tire wear
Often times, problems are not immediately noticeable to a vehicle owner. This occurs because some of these components can wear slowly over time, allowing the driver to be accustomed to irregular patterns.
At Morrison Tire, we recommend the steering and suspension system of your vehicle be inspected annually or every 10,000 miles. Our technicians can provide a proper road test, vehicle alignment when necessary, and inspection for any components not acting as original equipment.
SHOCKS & STRUTS
Shocks and Struts are the main component of your suspension system. Normal vehicle usage over an extended period of time will cause shocks and struts to lose their efficiency and ability properly handle and operate the vehicle. This can cause wear on other vehicle components and decrease ride quality.
Replacing your shocks and struts will help restore the vehicle to original equipment ride quality or better. It can also help prolong brake wear, tire wear, strengthen stability control, handling, and drastically increase ride comfort. At Morrison tire, we offer a variety of different shock and strut brands including KYB, Monroe, Rancho, Bilstein, and more.
