When your steering system is failing, it may be caused by your pitman arms, idler arms, tie rods, ball joints, core housings, and more. If you recognize any of the above, contact one of our experienced my calgary mechanic technicians for a steering system service.
The suspension parts of your vehicle is part of the chassis, which includes important systems such as the frame, the steering system, the tires and the wheels.
The main functions of the suspension system are supporting the weight of a vehicle, reducing the effect of shock forces, and maintaining a proper wheel alignment. Your suspension is critical for proper steering, stopping, and stability.
As you can imagine, your suspension has a lot of joints and pivot points that allow your wheels to move up and down over bumps and to turn as you steer. These joints simply wear out over time. When a joint is worn, the suspension parts don’t fit together as tightly as they should.
The steering system is critical to the safe operation of your vehicle and a well-maintained system allows the driver a pleasant drive. No matter the type of steering system in your vehicle, the steering rack, tie rods, ball joints, and core housings should be inspected on a regular basis.
As for suspension maintenance, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s specifications. When well maintained, the suspension enhances passenger comfort and allows for proper road handling. A suspension that’s in good condition will increase the lifespan of your tires and ensure the steering system functions properly.
