Keep your ride smooth and your handling precise by taking good care of your car's steering and suspension.

Your vehicle’s front-end and its alignment ensure that the wheels run equally and parallel to each other while you drive. This gives you good road handling, control, and proper tire wear.

Signs of front-end component and alignment problems:

  • Steering wheel or front-end vibration.
  • The vehicle pulling to one side.
  • Uneven tire wear.

If you experience any of these while you drive, it’s time to let one of our technicians take a look at your vehicle.

Before we replace any parts or re-align your vehicle’s wheels, we will explain the areas of concern and how much it will cost to do the job.

Front-end assemblies operate on a series of interacting parts: the rack and pinion, the tie rod assemblies, the ball joints, the sway bars, the sway bar link kits, and the control arm bushings.
