Ball joints, tie rods, shocks, and bushings checked for the clunks and wander you feel.
Schedule a Suspension InspectionShocks 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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes — gas and diesel, daily drivers and built rigs. Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Portland metro.
Fluid level and condition checks, top-offs, and leak inspection for smooth, quiet steering.
