To ensure driver safety on the road, it’s essential to maintain vehicle stability. This means the car must have an intact frame, suspension, chassis, and steering system. Suspension, chassis, and steering system repairs are tasks that require the expertise of qualified auto mechanics.
Regular suspension maintenance is key to preventing accidents. The condition of the suspension directly affects how well the vehicle responds to control. Drivers should feel that their vehicle handles smoothly on any road surface—straight, winding, wet, dry, or even bumpy. The suspension must remain stable in all conditions.
Unusual noises such as humming, rattling, or creaking, as well as instability, swaying, or rocking while driving, are signs that suspension repair may be needed. To eliminate these symptoms and prevent the vehicle from swerving or bouncing on uneven roads, a suspension diagnostic is essential. At Auto Akstė, our technicians will assess whether suspension, chassis, or steering system repairs are necessary to restore your vehicle’s safety.
The suspension system consists of shock absorbers, springs, control arms, mounts, and other metal and rubber components. When these parts wear out or bend, wheel geometry changes. The vehicle becomes harder to control, the steering wheel position shifts, and tire wear becomes uneven.
Shock absorbers absorb vertical vibrations, soften impacts to the body, reduce swaying on uneven roads, and ensure maximum tire grip on the road surface—especially important during braking.
The steering system is a crucial part of the chassis, designed to ensure that the steering wheels follow the movements of the steering wheel. The steering column, tie rods, and hydraulic (or electric) power steering system form the core of the steering mechanism. When these components function properly, the vehicle responds accurately on the road. Over time, looseness or leaks may develop in the steering mechanism (column and power steering), power steering fluid may begin to leak, and the steering may become heavy or produce unpleasant noises when turning. These are clear signs that immediate service is needed, as the brake and steering systems are directly linked to your safety and that of others.
