If your vehicle has worn steering or suspension parts, you are in for a bumpy ride. Your vehicle is attached to its wheels by a system of shock absorbers, springs, bearings, and linkages that keep the ride smooth even when the road is not! When one components weakens or fails, other components are forced to pick up the added pressure by shouldering more impact from the road. Regular suspension and steering inspections at Kansas Tire & Service Company will prevent a costly suspension “domino effect” and keep you riding smoothly.
Here is what Kansas Tire & Service has to offer:
- Shocks - Whether a bumpy ride has you wondering if your vehicle needs new shocks, or you just want to explore how new shocks can give your vehicle a boost in handling performance and ride comfort, we can help. Kansas Tire & Service will evaluate your vehicle’s shocks and help you pick from a wide range of shocks that fit your vehicle and your needs.
- Struts - Struts help to stabilize your vehicle and keep it from swaying, bouncing and bottoming out. Kansas Tire & Service will inspect your vehicle’s struts and strut mounting hardware and if necessary, advice you of options for replacement.
