Is Your Steering Dangerous?

In San Antonio, heat and heavy loads take a toll on your tie rod ends and shocks. If you feel a “pull” to one side, hear clunking over bumps, or experience excessive vibration, you likely have a failing ball joint or leaf spring bushing. We provide professional suspension diagnostic estimates to prevent roadside failures and expensive tire replacement.
