The suspension system on your Toyota RAV4, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla or Toyota Tacoma pickup is one of the most important components of your vehicle. Your Toyota’s suspension system is a protective network of shock-absorbing parts like springs and dampers. The suspension system is essential to getting a safe, smooth ride and it also helps your Toyota’s tires stay in contact with the road by increasing the amount of tire friction. We have factory-trained experts in our service center who know how to give your Toyota’s suspension system the right kind of maintenance and repair. We also make it more affordable to take good care of your suspension with our Toyota service and parts coupons.
An inside look at your Toyota’s suspension system
The suspension in your Toyota helps you have a comfortable ride along with a safer driving experience. The suspension takes horizontal energy caused by bumps in the road and converts it into vertical energy that travels up into the vehicle’s frame. The coil springs and shock absorbers help reduce the impact of this force. The components in your suspension system will grow weaker over time in the course of normal, everyday driving. Our staff knows how to inspect the suspension system to decide whether your suspension requires a minor adjustment or a replacement.
Suspension system challenges we can resolve
If your Toyota goes through excessive bouncing when you drive over bumps and you have only intermittent control while you’re driving and braking, come to us for a suspension system checkup. Uneven tire wear can also be a signal of a suspension issue. If you hit a pothole as you drive around Jeanerette or Franklin, LA, it can also damage suspension parts. Because your suspension system works as a unit, untreated suspension problems can increase the wear on other suspension components. The sooner you allow us to fix the problem, the more likely it is that you can avoid more expensive repairs.
We offer Toyota ball joint inspection and replacement services
The suspension system allows your Toyota’s tires to maintain continuous contact with the road, especially when you’re driving over uneven surfaces. Upper and lower ball joints are designed to fit inside a lubricated casing. If the casing loses lubrication and get dried out, it can affect your wheel alignment and that can cause inaccurate steering on highways around Abbeville or Broussard, LA. A loose ball joint can also cause suspension noise and uneven tire wear. Because ball joints act as the connection between your Toyota’s wheels and other suspension components, a bad joint can cause issues with normal steering functionality. If we replace ball joints when that’s needed, we can restore full functionality to your suspension system.
The value of properly functioning shock absorbers
Shock absorbers help your tires stay in contact with the surface of the road. Your shocks also help absorb the rebound of springs and other Toyota suspension components. Replacing your shocks can help maximize the performance of your vehicle’s suspension system. Worn-out shocks can make it harder to stop when you really need it. Brand-new shocks improve braking and handling and make your Toyota easier to control.
We can take care of your inner and outer tie rods
Inner and outer tie rods are a vital part of your Toyota’s suspension system. They act as the link between your Toyota’s steering system and the steering arm which is attached to the steering wheel. If you experience difficult or erratic steering, it's a sign that your inner or outer tie rods might need replacement. If your wheels are out of alignment that's another sign of bad inner or outer tie rods. We can provide professional replacement of inner and outer tie rods to help both your suspension and steering systems.
