Step 2 of 5
Inspection
Calgary's spring potholes and gravel roads wear suspension parts faster than many drivers expect. Worn ball joints, tie rods and sway-bar links cause knocks over bumps and vague steering; tired shocks and struts lengthen stopping distances and make the vehicle bounce.
What's included

- Shock and strut condition check

FAQ
Questions about suspension & steering
Anything else? Call the shop – we answer during opening hours.
+1 403-571-2886Can I drive with a clunking suspension?
A clunk usually means a worn joint or link. It is rarely an emergency, but a badly worn ball joint or tie rod can fail – book an inspection soon.
Do shocks and struts need replacing in pairs?
Yes, on the same axle. Replacing one side only makes the vehicle handle unevenly.
Do you work on lifted trucks?
Stock and mildly modified light trucks, yes. Heavily lifted vehicles may need a specialist; we will tell you up front.
