Frequently Asked Questions

How often should suspension components be inspected?

Shocks and struts: every 50,000 miles. Ball joints and tie rod ends: at every tire rotation (~5,000–8,000 miles). Sway bar links: every 40,000–80,000 miles. Lifted trucks: more frequently, especially after off-road use or hard miles.

Is it safe to drive with a clunking noise from my suspension?

Depends on the source. Sway bar links cause clunking and are not immediately dangerous. Worn ball joints can cause clunking that progresses to separation. A clunking noise warrants an inspection promptly — the source matters.

My truck has a lift kit. How does that affect suspension wear?

A lift shifts the ball joint angle from factory spec, increasing wear rate. It changes caster and camber, which affects how load distributes through suspension components. It may introduce stress on steering components that weren’t designed for the new geometry. Post-lift inspection is not optional — it’s how you find what the lift changed.

Do I need an alignment after suspension work?

Yes — always. Any replacement of ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, or shocks/struts will shift alignment from where it was. Drive the vehicle for alignment after any suspension work.

Do you service all makes and models?

Yes — gas and diesel, daily drivers and built rigs. Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Portland metro.
