Ride Control, Shocks, Struts, and Suspension Services in Rochester, MI
A Smooth Ride Starts Here
Your vehicle’s suspension system does more than provide comfort. It keeps your tires in contact with the road, helps you steer safely, and absorbs bumps and vibrations. When shocks or struts wear out, you’ll feel it in your ride quality, handling, and braking. South Street Auto Care provides complete ride control inspections and repairs to keep your vehicle stable and safe.
How Your Suspension System Works
Your car’s suspension system includes shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, bushings, and springs. Together, they manage weight transfer and absorb road impacts. As these parts wear over time, your vehicle may start to bounce, pull, or feel unstable — especially over uneven pavement or during braking.
Signs Your Suspension Needs Service
- Excessive bouncing or swaying when driving
- Uneven tire wear or rapid tread loss
- Steering feels loose or the car pulls to one side
- Clunking or squeaking noises over bumps
- Longer stopping distance or nose-diving when braking
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a suspension inspection can pinpoint the problem before it becomes unsafe.
What’s Included in a Suspension Inspection
Our technicians will:
- Check shocks and struts for leaks, damage, or worn mounts
- Inspect ball joints, control arms, and bushings for excessive play
- Examine springs and stabilizer links for cracks or rust
- Road test the vehicle for proper ride quality and handling
We use high-quality replacement parts designed to restore your car’s original ride comfort and performance.
Why Suspension Health Matters
A healthy suspension system improves braking, steering control, and tire life. It also ensures your vehicle maintains proper alignment and safety during every drive — especially on Michigan’s rough winter roads.
