What it is

About Suspension Repair

Suspension repair covers the parts that connect your wheels to the car and control how it rides and handles: struts, shocks, bushings, control arms and the hardware that holds them. Extreme Tires does suspension repair in the Sunrise bay for South Florida customers, with a full inspection first and an alignment check afterward.

Shocks and struts control how the springs move, which keeps the tires in contact with the road. Bushings are the cushions in the joints, and control arms hold each wheel in position.

Signs you need this

When to call us

Bouncy or floaty ride
Clunking over bumps
Nose dive when braking

Suspension wear is gradual, so the car often feels normal to the person who drives it every day. A clunk, a bounce or nose dive is worth an inspection.

When you need it

Signs, mileage and age

You may notice a bouncy ride, clunking over bumps or nose dive under braking. Tire Review lists cupping, a scalloped wear pattern, as one sign of poor damping, and notes that cupping can also come from improper balancing, so a tire pattern alone does not settle it.

Wear is gradual. Tire Review, citing a Motorist Assurance Program standard, says most ride control units degrade measurably by 50,000 miles, and drivers rarely notice because the change is slow.

Inspection is the way to know. Tire Review says there is no conclusive field test short of teardown or dynamometer testing, that the knee-on-the-bumper test can give false results and that a leaking unit counts as failed, not worn.

Straight pricing

From $249 per axle

That is a real starting price, not a teaser. What you actually pay depends on your vehicle and what the job needs. We confirm the total with you before any tool comes out, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

What changes the price

How many axles. The price is per axle, and shocks and struts are replaced in pairs so both sides match.
Which parts. Shocks, complete strut assemblies, bushings and control arms vary widely in cost.
Suspension type. Vehicles with air suspension or electronically controlled shocks use different parts, priced separately.
Other wear. A worn ball joint or tie rod found during the inspection is quoted before any work on it begins.

Questions, answered

Suspension Repair: common questions

How do I know if my shocks or struts are worn?

Look for a bouncy ride, clunking, nose dive and cupped tire wear. There is no simple home test. Tire Review says the knee-on-the-bumper test can give false results. A lift inspection looks for leaks, torn boots and loose parts.

How long do shocks and struts last?

Tire Review, citing a Motorist Assurance Program standard, says most ride control units degrade measurably by 50,000 miles. Roads and driving habits change that, so an inspection is more reliable than a number.

Do I need an alignment after suspension repair?

Often, yes. AAA says worn suspension parts can knock alignment out, and replacing struts, arms or bushings can shift the angles. That is why our suspension work includes an alignment check.
