BRAKES AND SUSPENSION
Take Those Sounds Seriously If you notice your ride isn’t that comfortable, faulty suspension parts are to blame. Squeaking and groaning sounds during direction changes or confronting bumps in the road, thuds and pops, excessive bounciness, poor ride quality, and unevenly worn tires are all symptoms of faulty shocks, bushings, bearings, and linkages. Don’t ignore the warning signs. Bad suspension parts will wear out your tires and other suspension parts much more rapidly and can be dangerous if neglected. Think about it; your suspension is what connects your car to your wheels, enabling it to hover above the wheels and allow for steering. If something breaks, you will likely find your car incapacitated, with one wheel pointing in the wrong direction or the underside of your car resting fully on the ground.

 

DRIVELINE DRIVETRAIN

Getting You Back on the Road Where does it all start? First of all, the engine is the start of most things in your car, and it creates power. That power gets transferred to the transmission to deliver movement to your wheels. The primary component in the driveline is the driveshaft, and it is a long metal tube that connects the transmission at one end and the wheels at the other.

Symptoms That Indicate You Need Driveline/Drivetrain Service

As with other automotive services, it’s always best to refer to your owner’s manual to see when your manufacturer recommends driveline service. Typically, we suggest that you get an inspection and replace the differential fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles. Over time, some driveline components may also get worn. In that case, you will need to replace its parts. Below are some of the signs that indicate you’re due for repairs:

Shakiness or vibrations from under the vehicle
Difficulty making turns
Unusual noises, like clunking sounds, when driving at high speeds
Vehicle shudders when accelerating

If you experience any of the signs above, please do not wait to bring your car to our shop. Our professional mechanics can inspect your driveline parts and recommend the necessary service to have your car in tip-top shape again.
