The vehicle suspension system works to maximize the friction between your car’s tyres and the road surface. It enhances the comfort of the passengers and provides stability to the steering. While car suspension systems have changed over time with modern vehicles having more advanced suspension systems, problems do occur with these systems.
Suspension components like shock absorbers, springs, anti-roll bars, struts, and control arms take a pounding daily. The pounding could be from railroad tracks, potholed streets, road salt, snow, rain, dirt and grime, or gravel and pieces of scrap metals and other debris that a driver sees too late to avoid. If you have problems with your vehicle’s suspension system, our mechanics can help with repairs and servicing or replacement of the components.
Our mechanics can handle suspension issues like:
- Misaligned wheels
- Worn out shock absorbers
- Knocking sound of struts
- One corner of your car lower than the others on level ground
- Bent control arm

A car pulling to the side either left or right is a common sign of issues with the suspension. However, it is one of the difficult problems you can diagnose by yourself unless you seek mechanics help. The tyres of your vehicle need to have a proper alignment for toe-in, camber, and caster. If the tyres are poorly aligned, it could mean annoying pulling, tyre wear, decreased gas mileage, and constant struggle to control the steering wheel.
Issues related to pulling of a car could be such as bad tie roads, sticking brake calliper, uneven tyre wear, uneven tyre pressure, or steering rack. When you run through a pothole the alignment of your car may become out of whack. There could be something that has broken and it could be the control arm or the spring.
At Hunt Vehicle Services, our mechanics will check your vehicle for any possible issue with the suspension system and the related components. The mechanics will identify what could be causing your vehicle to sit low, pull on one side, or squat.
If it is the suspension system, our mechanics repair it or replace the parts. If another component other than the suspension system is involved or affected, our mechanics will also repair or service it. Some issues with a car pulling on one side can be caused by a mere thing like an underinflated tyre. Inflating the tyre would simply resolve the issue. At other times, it could be something big as a broken spring or even a control arm.
Our mechanics and technicians are highly qualified and we use the latest tools, technologies, and equipment to diagnose and repair your car. Try us today!
