Steering & Suspension Repair in Redding, CA

Shocks, Struts, Ball Joints, Tie Rods & Wheel Alignment

Your suspension keeps your tires in contact with the road and your steering keeps you going where you intend. When either system degrades, your vehicle becomes uncomfortable, unpredictable, and ultimately unsafe. NorCal Precision Auto & Electric Repair in Redding restores your ride quality and steering precision.

Understanding the System

How Your Steering & Suspension Work Together

Suspension and steering are interconnected systems. The suspension absorbs road impacts and keeps your tires planted, while the steering translates your inputs into direction changes. Worn components in either system affect both.

1
Shock Absorbers & Struts
Dampen road impacts and control body movement
2
Ball Joints
Allow the steering knuckle to pivot during cornering and suspension travel
3
Tie Rods
Connect the steering rack to the wheels to translate steering inputs
4
Control Arms & Bushings
Mount the suspension to the vehicle frame and allow controlled movement
5
Sway Bar & Links
Reduce body roll in corners
6
Power Steering Rack
Translates steering wheel input into wheel movement
