Steering and Suspension in Dearborn, MI

Steering and suspension control how your car holds the road, how it stops and how long your tires last. AutoTech Clinic repairs front end components, replaces shocks and struts, and performs wheel alignments at 24100 Michigan Ave in Dearborn.

Michigan roads are hard on this system. Potholes on Michigan Ave and Telegraph destroy struts and bend control arms, and salt rusts ball joints and tie rod ends from the outside in. We inspect the whole front end rather than one part.

How often should I get a wheel alignment?

At least once a year in Michigan, and any time you fit new tires, hit a significant pothole or replace a steering or suspension part. Alignment is the cheapest way to protect a set of tires.

Why does my car pull to one side?

The common causes are alignment out of specification, uneven tire pressure, a worn suspension component or a sticking brake caliper. We check all four rather than assuming it is alignment.

How do I know if my struts are worn?

If the car continues to bounce after a bump, nose dives hard under braking or feels unsettled on the highway, the struts are likely worn. Fluid leaking down the strut body is a definite confirmation.

Do you do alignments the same day?

Yes. Wheel alignment is a same day service and usually takes about an hour. If worn parts have to be replaced first, we tell you before the alignment, because aligning a car with loose joints is wasted money.

Can a pothole damage my suspension?

Yes. A hard pothole hit can bend a wheel, blow out a strut, bend a control arm or knock the alignment well out of specification. If the car felt different after a hit, it is worth an inspection.

What does a bad ball joint sound like?

Usually a clunk or a knock over bumps, sometimes with a creak when turning slowly. A badly worn ball joint can separate, which drops the wheel and is one of the more dangerous failures on a car.
