- Steering & Suspension
Steering and suspension rely on a range of components, including power steering fluid, tie rod, ball joints, shocks, and struts. Without proper maintenance of all parts, your vehicle may not steer well or absorb the bumps on the road the way it was originally designed to.
Symptoms to look out for:
- Noise when turning the wheel
- Leaking struts
- Low power steering fluid levels
- Loose steering
- Excessive bouncing, drifting or swaying while driving
- Irregular tire wear
If you notice any of these symptoms, come into your Fountain Tire store so we can properly diagnose your vehicle. You may be in need of power steering line/hose repair or suspension service. We check that all your suspension and steering components are functioning properly and help maintain and repair them as needed.
