Steering & Suspension

Your steering and suspension system is what allows you to have complete control over your vehicle. However, when it is off, it negatively affects other components of your vehicle including your tires and axle. The most important components of proper steering and suspension are wheel alignment, air suspension, shocks and struts, and ball joints and tie rods. Demore’s Automotive is the leading provider of suspension repair in Palmer, MA.

Air Suspension

Air suspension allows your vehicle to move comfortably and, more importantly, safely. It offers additional support that works together with other suspension systems, providing a safe stable ride. If your air suspension system needs to be serviced, bring your vehicle to Demore’s Automotive. Our expert team will thoroughly service and repair your vehicle and get you back on the road quickly.

Ball Joints & Tie Rods

Ball joints are similar to the joints in our body. They act as a hinge for the steering system, allowing the vehicle to move around. Just like our joints, they will wear down with age and will need to be replaced. Replacing a ball joint will significantly improve the steering and handling of your vehicle.

Tie rods are less likely to wear down, but still need to be inspected regularly to ensure proper toe angles. An improper toe angle impacts the wear on your tires, which can lead to quicker tire wear and needing to replace your tires before you are ready.

Leaf Springs

Leaf springs are generally only found on older vehicle models. Leaf springs hold axles in position. Suspension systems that use leaf springs are typically simple and strong. These springs do eventually wear out and have to be replaced.

Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are vital to your car’s handling and stability. If your vehicle’s shocks and struts are worn, this could affect stopping times and how well your vehicle handles bumps in the road. If your shocks or struts are damaged or malfunctioning, this can cause premature wear to other components, especially the tires. We recommend regular replacement and maintenance of your vehicle’s shocks and struts to improve the life of your vehicle and its individual parts.

Proper maintenance of your vehicle’s suspension components will improve driving. If your vehicle is not driving as it should be, set up an appointment with the experts at Demore’s Automotive. Our team will inspect and fix any problems to make sure your vehicle is driving properly.
