If your vehicle doesn't feel as responsive on the road, it may be time to check your steering and suspension systems. Here at Black Bear Auto Service in Burnaby, BC, we specialize in getting your ride back to handling like a dream. 

SUSPENSION

Your suspension system is what absorbs the shock from the road, giving you a comfortable ride and keeping your vehicle stable. It’s made up of parts like shocks, struts, and springs, which all work together to control the movement of your car. Worn suspension can cause everything from rough handling and a bouncy ride to uneven tire wear and steering problems.

Whether you’re driving a Honda, Jeep, Subaru, Mercedes, 4X4, Lexus, or a heavy-duty Dodge, Ford, (just to name a few) Diesel Pickup, or just want to jack up your truck for those off-road adventures, Black Bear Auto Service has the experience and tools to do the job! 

STEERING 

Your steering system lets you control your vehicle’s direction, and it works hand in hand with your suspension system to give you a comfortable, safe, and responsive driving experience. As you turn your steering wheel, parts like the rack and pinion or steering box work to move the wheels in the desired direction.

If you’ve noticed any of the following on your vehicle: pulling to one side, odd clunking sounds, or feeling excessive vibration through the steering wheel, these could be signs that something’s wrong with your steering or suspension systems. Don’t ignore these warning signs – they can lead to bigger, costlier repairs if left unattended.
