The suspension system in your vehicle is the unsung hero of every smooth, controlled, and safe drive. At Scott's Ivy Exxon Automotive & Tire in Charlottesville, VA, we specialize in suspension repair services to keep your car riding comfortably and handling with precision.

Why Is Suspension Repair Important?


Your suspension system’s main job is to absorb the energy transferred from the road—bumps, potholes, cracks, and prevent it from shaking your car or compromising its stability. Without a properly functioning suspension, you'll notice:


  • Poor handling and reduced control
  • Uncomfortable ride quality
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Extended braking distance
  • Increased risk of rollover in extreme turns


Routine suspension inspections and repairs keep your vehicle firmly planted on the road and your passengers safe.


Key Components of Your Suspension System


Understanding the suspension system helps you know what to expect during repairs. Here are the main components we inspect and service:


Frame

The structural foundation that supports the body and engine absorbs road energy and distributes weight.


Suspension System

Includes shocks, struts, springs, and control arms. These parts absorb shocks and stabilize the vehicle.


Steering System

Works in harmony with the suspension to allow for smooth, precise turns using minimal force from the driver.


Tires and Wheels

Connect your car to the road. Worn suspension leads to irregular tire wear and reduced grip.


Struts

Provide structural support and dampen road impact. Worn struts lead to a bouncy ride and poor control.


Shocks (Shock Absorbers)

Oil-filled cylinders that control motion in your suspension system. Leaking oil is a sign that your shocks need replacement.


Axles

Transfer power from your engine to the wheels and support your vehicle's weight. Damaged axles cause vibrations and loss of motion.


Control Arms

Link your wheels to your frame. Worn or bent control arms can cause misalignment and uneven tire wear. Typically replaced every 90,000–100,000 miles.


Signs You Need Suspension Repair


Be on the lookout for the following symptoms of a failing suspension system:


  • The vehicle drifts or pulls during turns
  • Rough, bouncy rides over bumps
  • Fluid leaking near shocks or struts
  • Clunking noises from under the car
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Steering feels loose or unstable
  • The car dips forward when braking


If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Bring your vehicle to Scott's Ivy Exxon Automotive & Tire for a full suspension checkup.
