Suspension Service & Repair — Smooth, Safe, and Stable Driving

Your vehicle’s suspension system is what keeps your ride comfortable, controlled, and safe. It absorbs bumps, maintains proper tire contact, and ensures your car handles the way it was designed to. At Johnny’s Auto Repair & Services, we inspect and repair suspension systems on American and European vehicles with precision and care — right at your location.

What Your Suspension System Does

Your suspension isn’t just about “ride comfort.” It plays a major role in:

• Handling & stability

• Braking performance

• Cornering control

• Tire wear

• Ride comfort

• Safety during sudden stops or swerves

A worn suspension affects the entire car — not just the ride quality.

Components We Service

Your suspension is made up of many different parts. We inspect and service:

Shocks & Struts

Control body movement, absorb bumps, and keep the car stable.

Control Arms & Bushings

Connect wheels to the frame while allowing controlled movement.

Ball Joints

Act like “pivot points” so your wheels can turn smoothly.

Tie Rod Ends

Connect the steering rack to the wheels for accurate steering.

Sway Bars & End Links

Prevent excessive body roll during turns.

Springs (Coil or Leaf)

Support the weight of the vehicle and keep it level.

Wheel Bearings

Allow the wheels to rotate smoothly without friction.

Electronic/Adaptive Suspensions

Found mostly in European luxury models (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volvo).

We diagnose, repair, and replace these systems with high-quality parts that meet or exceed OEM standards.

Signs Your Suspension Needs Service

If you notice any of these, your suspension is likely worn:

• Bouncing or floating feeling while driving

• Excessive body roll while turning

• Vehicle nose-dives when braking

• Car leans to one side

• Vibrations or shaking

• Clunking, rattling, or knocking noises

• Uneven or rapid tire wear

• Steering feels loose or unstable

• Longer stopping distances

• Harsh or bumpy ride

Addressing suspension issues early prevents bigger (and more expensive) repairs later.

American/Japanese vs. European Suspension Systems

American/Japanese Vehicles

• Often have heavier, truck-style suspensions

• Simpler control arms and shock designs

• More common lift/level kits

• Affordable and straightforward repairs

• Great for towing and rough roads

European Vehicles

• Often use multi-link suspension systems

• More precise handling but more complex designs

• May include adaptive/air suspension systems

• Require specialized parts and calibrations

• Sensitive to worn bushings, struts, and alignment

We are trained to handle both systems correctly and safely.

Our Suspension Inspection Process

We perform a complete visual and mechanical inspection, including:

• Shocks & struts for leaks or wear

• Bushings for cracking or deterioration

• Ball joints, tie rods, & steering components

• Springs for sagging or damage

• Sway bar links for looseness

• Wheel bearings for play or noise

• Tire wear patterns

• Ride height and alignment issues

• Leaks from hydraulic or electronic systems

This ensures you get an accurate diagnosis — not guesses or upsells.

Why Suspension Service Matters

A healthy suspension ensures:

• Better braking

• Shorter stopping distance

• Longer tire life

• Safer highway driving

• Smoother ride

• Stable steering

• Better control in emergencies

Suspension issues don’t just make the ride rough — they directly affect safety.
