Suspension Repair
Is your vehicle bouncing or feeling unstable on the road? It could be a sign of suspension issues. Your suspension system plays a critical role in your vehicle’s safety and comfort by performing three key functions:
- Keeping Your Tires on the Road – Ensures constant tire contact with the road for maximum traction and control.
- Providing Stable Steering & Handling – Helps prevent your vehicle from tipping or rolling during turns and maneuvers.
- Maximizing Passenger Comfort – Absorbs bumps and vibrations, keeping the ride smooth and comfortable inside the cabin.
If you’re experiencing rough rides, pulling, or uneven tire wear, trust MS Auto Inc. to diagnose and repair your suspension system with precision.
Running into potholes left and right? We have the solutions. Misaligned wheels can diminish the life of your tires by causing rapid and uneven tread wear. Properly aligned wheels improve driver safety, enhance your driving control, increase fuel efficiency and maximize the life of your tires. Save your tires before it’s too late!
Four Wheel Alignment
Our team performs dozens of wheel alignments every month, and each one of those 4-wheel alignments improves the accuracy and precision of your vehicle's camber, caster and toe angles. We recommend getting your alignment checked every 6 months or 6,000 miles. 4-wheel alignments should be checked at regular intervals.
Two Wheel Alignment
In a two-wheel alignment rear toe and thrust angle is checked. Then all the adjustments are made on the front wheels. This happens on cars that don't have rear wheel adjustments, but can determine if there is something wrong with the back wheels.
Why Align?
Improper wheel or tire alignment can cause your tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. Some specific types of undue tread wear attributable to misalignment are feathering, threading, camber wear, hell/toe wear, and tire balancing. Lack of alignment may cause you to feel your steering wheel pull to one side, threatening your safety on the road.
