Suspension & Steering

Your suspension system does more than provide a comfortable ride. It keeps your tires in contact with the road, maintains proper wheel alignment, and allows you to control the vehicle safely. Worn suspension components affect handling, tire wear, and braking performance.

The steering system translates your input at the wheel into directional changes at the tires. Components like tie rods, ball joints, and the steering rack must be in good condition for precise control. Worn steering parts can cause wandering, pulling, or loose steering feel.

Massachusetts roads are tough on suspension and steering components. Potholes, frost heaves, and rough pavement take their toll. Regular inspection can catch worn parts before they fail, which is especially important for ball joints and tie rod ends that can cause loss of control if they break.

At JST Automotive Center, we inspect and service all suspension and steering components. This includes shocks and struts, control arms, ball joints, tie rods, stabilizer links, and power steering systems. We can also perform wheel alignment to ensure your tires wear evenly and your vehicle tracks straight.
