Front End Services

The function of a vehicle’s suspension system is to maximize friction between the tires and the road surface, which allows for steering stability with good handling and ride comfort. The majority of vehicles on the road today are front wheel drive, and good front end suspension enables them to travel smoothly on bumpy roads, and to accelerate, brake and corner safely. Vehicle front end suspension components include:

• Struts
• Shocks
• Control arms
• Ball joints
• Coil springs
• Sway bar
• Leaf springs

Why are front end suspension services necessary?
Front end suspension components are significant contributor to ride comfort, and also vehicle safety. When suspension parts fail, the vehicle can become less responsive and difficult to handle. Faulty front end suspension components can also cause premature failure of other vehicle components, including tires.
