Steering Inspection & Suspension Repair
Balance, stability, and smooth handling all contribute to the comfort and reliability of your ride. But keeping your car’s steering and suspension in check isn’t just about a relaxing drive. If your steering is off-balanced or your suspension is old and worn, you risk damage to your car and possible accidents while driving. A well-tuned suspension system helps you easily maneuver your car and avoid unnecessary incidents.
At Bosch Auto Service, we believe every driver needs a reliable steering and suspension. Our team of professional technicians can perform car suspension repairs on all makes and models.

When to Replace Suspension Parts
It’s recommended that you have your shocks and struts inspected once your car hits 50,000 miles. This is the general mileage level most steering and suspension parts last. However, traffic conditions, driving styles, and your car's overall health and maintenance can affect your suspension’s lifespan. If you notice your vehicle's handling changes, it’s a good idea to get your steering and suspension checked. Wheel alignments and tire rotations are also great milestones to have a Bosch Auto Service check your suspension structure for any problems.

What is the difference between a shock and a strut?
A strut is a major part of your suspension that, in many modern designs, replaces the upper control arm and ball joint. Shocks (or shock absorbers), on the other hand, are a small part of your cat’s suspension that helps control spring and suspension movement.
When should I have my suspension checked?
The suspension is an important part of your car that helps keep you and your vehicle safe. At Bosch Auto Service, we recommend you have your mechanic do an inspection of your suspension system whenever you have routine work done to ensure everything is working properly.
