About Our Suspension Repair

Suspension components wear from miles, road conditions, and age. Shocks and struts lose damping ability and cause bouncing or poor handling. Control arm bushings crack and tear, causing clunking. Ball joints wear and create play in the steering. We inspect suspension by bouncing the vehicle, checking for play in joints, and looking for leaking shocks or torn bushings. Some vehicles like Toyota and Honda models use MacPherson struts with integrated springs, while others use separate shocks and coil springs. We stock parts for both designs and explain what your vehicle needs.

What's Included

  • Visual inspection of shocks, struts, springs, and mounts
  • Control arm bushing and ball joint play inspection
  • Sway bar link and bushing inspection
  • Shock and strut bounce test to measure damping performance
  • Tire wear pattern inspection to identify suspension problems
  • Shock or strut replacement with new mounts and hardware
  • Control arm or ball joint replacement as needed
  • Post-repair test drive and alignment check

We provide upfront pricing and explain what needs replacement now and what can wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does suspension repair take?

Shock or strut replacement typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the vehicle. Control arm or ball joint replacement can take 3 to 5 hours. If we need to replace multiple components or perform a wheel alignment afterward, the service can take most of a day.

How much does suspension repair cost?

Shock replacement ranges from $300 to $600 for a pair. Strut replacement ranges from $500 to $900 for a pair. Control arm replacement ranges from $300 to $700 per side. Ball joint replacement ranges from $200 to $500 per side. Call us at (530) 392-4323 for an exact quote after we inspect your suspension.

What are the signs of worn suspension?

Common signs include bouncing or floating when driving over bumps, nose-diving when braking, clunking noises over bumps, uneven tire wear, or the vehicle pulling to one side. Worn shocks or struts also reduce handling and increase stopping distance.

Should I replace shocks or struts in pairs?

Yes. Replacing shocks or struts in pairs keeps the vehicle balanced. If one side is worn, the other side is usually close behind. Mismatched suspension creates uneven handling and can cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

Do I need an alignment after suspension work?

It depends on what we replaced. Shock or strut replacement does not usually affect alignment. Control arm, ball joint, or tie rod replacement changes suspension geometry and requires alignment. We recommend alignment after any suspension work that affects adjustable components.
