What it is

Suspension andsteering, in full

Every corner carries its share of the load, so we check all four before quoting any of it.

Shocks and struts

The parts that keep the tires planted over Sioux Falls potholes and washboard gravel alike.

Joints and bushings

Ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings and sway bar links. The usual sources of a clunk.

Bearings and steering

Wheel bearings, the steering rack and power steering. The hum and the wander live here.

Tell us what it's doing

You do not need to know the name of the part. Describe the noise, the feeling or the light, and we will take it from there. Most estimates go out the same business day.

If you would rather talk it through, call (605) 339-9717 and describe what it is doing.

We answer Monday through Friday during shop hours, and we will only use your details to get back to you about your vehicle.

Before you come in

Questions we get about suspension work

They share the same corners of the vehicle, so we check both together. A clunk, a wander or a rough ride each has a short list of usual causes, and the inspection sorts out which one you have.

They wear gradually, which is why it sneaks up on people. Longer stopping distances and a floaty feel over dips are the usual tells, and we will show you the wear rather than just tell you about it.

Usually, yes. Replacing the parts that set the angles changes the angles, so the alignment puts the numbers back where the factory wants them and protects the new parts and the tires.

It depends on which corner and which part, which is why we get it on the lift first and call with the number before starting. Ask us and we will give you a range over the phone.
