Suspension Repair Services

  • Shock and Strut Replacement: Bad struts and shocks can cause your car to bounce excessively, not handle well, and may even make it take a long time to stop. Our technicians can diagnose your suspension and replace worn-out shocks and struts to bring back your car’s smooth and safe ride.
  • Suspension System Alignment: These problems result in uneven wear of tires, steering problems, and poor control of the vehicle. At German Auto Doctor, we provide professional car alignment to make sure that your suspension system is well-aligned. This in turn has a positive impact on the car’s handling, tire longevity, and safety.
  • Control Arm and Ball Joint Repair: The ball joints and control arms are some of the most important suspension parts since they enable your wheels to move smoothly. These parts are subjected to wear and tear over a period of time and when they are worn out, the steering feel becomes loose or there might be a clunking sound when you are driving over bumps. Our team will check and replace worn ball joints and control arms to ensure your vehicle rides and handles as it should.
  • Suspension Bushing Replacement: Bushings are the rubber-like materials that come between the metals of your suspension system to dampen sound and vibration. Over time, these bushings wear out and you may find that there is increased vibration and noise in the car. When you bring your car to German Auto Doctor, we use new and genuine bushings to ensure that your car remains as silent as when it was new.
