Suspension Repair in Council Bluffs, Iowa

Shocks, Struts, Springs: We Provide Repair for All Suspension Parts

Do you enjoy a smooth, stable, and controlled ride? And one that is efficient, too? You can thank your car’s suspension system. The suspension is located on the undercarriage of a vehicle and sits on the frame. Its network of components is responsible for providing an agile and comfortable driving experience, and collectively, it offers support for the weight of the car. The suspension system consists of shocks and struts, coil springs, control arms, sway bars, bearings, bushings, ball joints, and linkages—among others. These pieces each have a specific job to do to ensure your ride is smooth. Sway bars, for example, help prevent your vehicle from rolling over. Meanwhile, coil springs absorb energy and, in turn, limit vehicle bounce. All suspension parts are constantly in motion, leaving them prone to wear, malfunction, and even damage. At Mad Hatter Auto Repair in Council Bluffs, Iowa, our certified technicians have extensive experience with all suspension systems and are your number-one source for suspension repair!

Signs of a Bad Suspension

The list of warning signs of a faulty or damaged vehicle suspension system is lengthy, and a lot of the time, it depends on what exactly is wrong. The best way to determine the exact issue is to visit our auto shop, where we’ll take a look at your suspension and troubleshoot the problem. From there, we’ll provide the next steps for proper suspension repair. If there is a complication with your coil springs, you may notice unusual tire wear, an abnormal noise, sudden vehicle sway, or harsh bouncing. When your control arms are in trouble, they present a squeaking, knocking, or banging sound when you drive over a bump, while steering, or when accelerating or decelerating. Each part has its unique list of indicators, which we are happy to share with you more in-depth at our shop! If you notice any change in driving, such as a bumpier ride, irregular tire wear, drifting, or pulling to one side, make an appointment with us for inspection, and if needed, suspension repair. For further details on the warning signs of the additional components, reach out to our team today!
