Steering and Suspension in Rocklin and Sacramento, CA

We specialize in Japanese and Domestic vehicles but welcome all makes and models.
Steering Repair and Service in Rocklin and Sacramento
Your steering system allows you to control the direction of your vehicle. When you turn the steering wheel, a series of components transfers that movement to the front wheels. Depending on the vehicle, the system may use hydraulic power steering or electric power steering.
Components can include the steering rack, tie rods, steering shaft, steering gear, power steering pump, and related joints and linkages. Wear or damage to any of these components can affect how accurately your vehicle responds to steering input.
Common signs of a steering problem include:
- Steering wheel vibration or shaking
- Excessive play in the steering wheel
- Difficulty turning
- Vehicle pulling to one side
- Uneven tire wear
- Clunking or knocking while turning
- Power steering fluid leaks
- Steering that feels unusually heavy or loose
Suspension Repair and Service in Rocklin and Sacramento
Your suspension system has two important jobs: helping your tires maintain contact with the road and providing a controlled ride. It absorbs impacts from potholes, bumps, and uneven pavement while helping stabilize the vehicle during cornering, braking, and acceleration.
Major suspension components can include shocks, struts, springs, control arms, ball joints, bushings, sway bar links, and wheel bearings. These parts experience significant stress over time, particularly when driving over rough roads or carrying heavy loads.
If your vehicle bounces excessively, dips when braking, leans during turns, or makes unusual noises over bumps, it's worth having the suspension inspected.
