Frost Heaves Ahead
Front end repair in your car , truck or SUV
We all know winter can be rough on your car. It’s not just the cold starts and the salt but the chunks of ice and frost heaves. Hitting a rut or groove of ice can throw off your car’s front end. Depending on the vehicle, the front end may include tie rods, idler arms, pitman arms, a rack and pinion, ball joints, shocks or struts and many other parts that can cause issues when driving. The bigger problem is if one gets thrown out of skew, it can easily cause problems with other parts making repairs more expensive if you wait too long to address the issue.
Not, Good Vibrations - Automotive vibrations that can kill your front end.
If your tires are wobbling while driving, this can be a number of problems. It could be a simple balance of the tire, or it could be more complicated like ball joints,hub assembly issues or shocks. The problem is that a small vibration can have negative effects on other components in the front end. The balance of a tire being off could become a larger issue when the vibrations wear out bushings or key components the front end assembly.
Sound of Music - Listen to your car when it speaks to you. Those sounds are issues.
Sometimes overpowering a noise from your car with the radio isn’t a good idea. Well it's most likely never a good idea. If you have some bad clunking or whining coming from your car it’s best to get it checked asap. The longer you wait the more damage you could be causing.
Shocking! - Replacing your car's shocks could save you money in the long run.
Shocks wear over time. When they do they start to throw off a number of elements in the car. Bad shocks can cause excessive wear on front end components and tires. We all know tires aren’t cheap. So don’t buy new tires without first addressing issues with your front end or you will be throwing money out the window.
