Steering and Suspension Repair in Santa Cruz, CA
Have you noticed your car pulling to one side, having a rougher ride than usual, or making strange noises when turning or going over bumps? Your steering and suspension systems may need to be looked at. At Goodyear Tires & Auto Repair in Santa Cruz, CA, we diagnose and repair steering and suspension issues to keep your car driving safely and comfortably.
Your steering and suspension systems work together to ensure your car handles properly and delivers a smooth ride.
Steering
The steering system allows you to control the direction of your vehicle. It works through components like the steering wheel, column, rack and pinion, and power steering pump. If your steering system is failing, it can make your car difficult or unsafe to drive.
Common Steering Problems Include:
- Difficulty turning the steering wheel
- Vehicle drifting to one side while driving
- Unusual noises when steering (like groaning or squeaking)
- Steering wheel vibrations
Whether you need power steering fluid, alignment adjustments, or a rack and pinion replacement, we’ll get your car back to handling safely.
Suspension
The suspension system ensures a comfortable ride by absorbing shocks from the road and keeping your tires in contact with the pavement. Components like shocks, struts, control arms, and springs work together to maintain stability and balance.
Signs of Suspension Issues Include:
- Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump
- Nose-diving when braking or body-roll during turns
- Uneven tire wear
- Clunking or knocking noises from the suspension
