Suspension System Diagnosis & Repair

Changes in your vehicle's ride or handling shouldn't be ignored.

Crown Automotive provides suspension inspection, diagnosis and repair in Meridian, Idaho for all makes and models, including domestic, Asian, European and diesel vehicles.

Whether you're hearing a clunk over bumps or your vehicle simply doesn't feel as stable as it used to, we'll help determine what's causing the problem before recommending repairs.

Signs Your Suspension May Need Attention

Bring your vehicle in if you notice:

  • Clunking or knocking over bumps

  • Excessive bouncing

  • Uneven tire wear

  • Loose or unstable steering

  • Vehicle wandering

  • Unusual noises while turning

  • Changes in handling

  • Vehicle sitting unevenly

  • Fluid leaking from shocks or struts

Diagnose First, Replace Second

Several suspension and steering components can create similar symptoms.

Our technicians inspect the system to identify the actual source of the problem rather than replacing parts based on symptoms alone.

Potential components may include:

  • Shocks

  • Struts

  • Control arms

  • Bushings

  • Ball joints

  • Related steering components

  • Other suspension hardware

Whenever different approaches are available, we'll discuss those options with you so you can choose how to proceed based on your vehicle, budget and priorities.
