A smoother, safer ride.
Your steering and suspension keep the tires planted on the road, which matters for braking and handling as much as for comfort. Worn shocks, struts, and steering parts usually wear out slowly, so the change is easy to miss until something clunks or the tires start wearing unevenly.
Potholes, curbs, and construction zones are hard on suspension parts, and Austin has plenty of all three. After a hard hit, it's worth having the alignment checked.
We find the worn part, explain what it does and why it matters, and give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Signs of steering or suspension trouble
Any of these is worth a look.
- Pulling to one side
Often an alignment problem, but it can also be a worn steering or suspension part.
- Off-center steering wheel
If the wheel isn't straight when you're driving straight, the alignment is likely off.
- Clunking over bumps
Can be as minor as a worn bushing or as serious as a failing joint. Have it checked soon.
- Bouncy or floating ride
Worn shocks or struts let the car keep bouncing after a bump.
- Uneven tire wear
Wear on one edge of a tire usually points to alignment or a worn part.
- Nose dives when braking
Another sign of worn shocks or struts, and it makes stopping distances longer.
Common questions

How do I know if I need an alignment?
Common signs are the car pulling to one side, a steering wheel that isn't straight when you're driving straight, or tires wearing on one edge. It's also worth checking after a hard pothole or curb hit, and after steering or suspension parts are replaced.
How long do shocks and struts last?
It depends a lot on the roads you drive and the vehicle. The signs above matter more than the mileage, so have them checked if you notice any.
Is it safe to drive with a clunking noise?
A clunk can be a worn bushing or a failing ball joint, and you can't tell which from the driver's seat. Have it checked soon.
Will new tires fix a pull?
Not if the cause is alignment or a worn part. New tires on a car that's out of alignment will wear unevenly too, so it's worth checking the alignment when you replace tires.
