Steering and Suspension

Maintain a Smooth Ride with Steering and Suspension Service

Although safety is the most important characteristic of any vehicle, the way it handles on the road is quite important, as well. Good handling can contribute to the safety of a vehicle, meaning that you want to maintain the proper handling of your vehicle at all times. Two important systems that determine how well your vehicle handles are the steering and suspension systems. That's why we encourage you to have these systems serviced by the professional technicians at La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Taking Care of Steering

During steering service, a technician will check the power steering system of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram. If the power steering fluid is low, they will look for signs of leaks that could make your vehicle difficult to turn. They will also check your vehicle's alignment to ensure that your steering wheel doesn't pull to the left or right while you're driving around Michigan City.

Taking Care of the Suspension

Without a solid suspension to ride on, your car isn't going anywhere. In addition to checking the alignment as part of the steering check, a technician will perform a thorough evaluation of your shocks and struts. It's a good idea to have these components replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles in La Porte, IN. If you notice that your car is unusually "bouncy," it might be because the shocks are bad. The sway bars are another important component of your suspension system. These components help prevent your vehicle from rolling over when its weight shifts while you're going around a corner.

When you're dealing with critical systems, such as the steering and suspension systems, it's important to use top-quality parts to complete any necessary repairs. We use only original equipment manufacturer parts for repairs in La Porte to ensure the highest performance and safety level. We also responsibly dispose of old parts to help protect the environment.
