Loose steering can affect safety by making the car harder to steer, while the suspension system makes the ride smooth and keeps your tires solidly on the road to maintain vehicle stability.

Suspension and Steering Services

The steering and suspension systems (shocks and struts) work together to make your vehicle's ride safe and comfortable. Most steering systems are power-assisted and are always based on a mechanical connection from the steering wheel to the front tires. Loose steering can affect safety by making the car harder to steer, and causing the front tires to wear out more quickly than they should.

 

The suspension system keeps the driver and passengers from feeling every little bump in the road. It's also important in keeping the driver and passengers safe, because its function is to keep the tires solidly on the road and maintain vehicle stability when cornering and stopping. Suspension systems typically utilize either a strut system or shock absorbers.

 

For safety's sake, your car's steering and suspension systems should be examined at least once each year by a trained technician. Galaxy's ASE-certified technicians can do that for you quickly and efficiently. They'll be honest with their assessment, and will always offer an estimate of the repair costs before doing any work, if repairs are needed.
