Rough ride.
Suspension fix.
Clunking, bouncing, or pulling? Worn suspension is a safety issue, not just a comfort one. Post your job on Tekyeka and get real quotes from verified mechanics for shocks, struts, control arms, and more.
Every suspension component
Shock Absorber Replacement
Replace worn shocks to restore ride quality and vehicle stability over bumps and turns.
Strut Replacement
Struts are structural — worn struts affect handling, braking distance, and tire wear. Replace in pairs.
Control Arm Replacement
Worn control arms or bushings cause loose handling and clunking. Often paired with alignment after replacement.
Tie Rod Replacement
Tie rods connect your steering to the wheels. Worn tie rods cause loose steering and uneven tire wear.
Sway Bar Links & Bushings
Sway bar links prevent body roll. Worn links cause rattling noises on turns and uneven cornering.
Ball Joint Replacement
Ball joints connect the wheel hub to the suspension. Failure can cause serious handling problems — inspect and replace early.
Suspension questions
What are the signs of bad shocks or struts?
Signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-diving when braking, vehicle squatting when accelerating, uneven tire wear, clunking or rattling noises over bumps, or a generally rough and unstable ride.
How often should shocks and struts be replaced?
Most manufacturers recommend inspection every 50,000 miles and replacement every 50,000–100,000 miles depending on driving conditions. City driving with frequent potholes and bumps accelerates wear.
Can I just replace two shocks instead of all four?
It's generally recommended to replace shocks or struts in pairs (both fronts or both rears) to maintain balanced handling. Mixing worn and new components can create uneven behavior. Your mechanic will advise based on the condition of each.
What is the difference between shocks and struts?
Both dampen ride movement, but struts are a structural part of the suspension system and also affect wheel alignment. Shocks are standalone dampers that don't bear vehicle weight. Strut replacement is more involved and typically costs more.
How much does suspension repair cost?
Shock absorber replacement can range from $150–$350 per axle. Strut replacement is typically $300–$700 per axle. Control arms, tie rods, and ball joints vary by vehicle. Post a job on Tekyeka for real quotes from local mechanics.
