Suspension and Steering Systems

The primary function of your cars suspension and steering systems is to allow the wheels to move independently of the car, while keeping it "suspended" and stable. Any play or uncontrolled motion in these systems results in a deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle alignment is closely tied to the condition of the suspension and steering systems.

  • Steering Sytems:

    Worn or loose components affect the ability to control the toe angle, and may result in a loss of directional stability and accelerated tire wear. The main components of a Conventional system are:



    1. Steering Gear Box

    2. Center Link

    3. Pitman Arm

    4. Idler Arm

    5. Tie Rods


    The main components of a Rack and Pinion steering system are:



    6. Rack and Pinion Assembly

    7. Bellows Boots

    8. Tie Rods

  • Suspension System:

    Worn or loose components affect the suspension systems ability to control motion and alignment angles, resulting in a deterioration of vehicle handling and stability, and accelerated tire wear. The main components of the suspension system are:



    9. Control Arms

    11. Springs (Coil or Leaf)

They are fair and very reasonable. The price was right and fair furthermore the quality and workmanship were top notch.

  • "I was considering the purchase of a car from out of state (I'm located across the country). Leading Edge Auto Care performed a pre-sale inspection for me as well as a standard service for the current owner. Their assessment was thorough (29 point inspection and ran codes), honest, and straightforward. I can't thank them enough for their POV on the vehicle which helped inform my purchase decision. Shout out to David who helped me out on this seamlessly over the phone! Thanks again, Leading Edge!"
