Handling problems should be inspected as a complete system.
Tires, wheel bearings, joints, bushings, springs, dampers and alignment all influence control. We identify the worn component before repair.
We begin with your concern and the vehicle’s history, then inspect and test the related system. You receive the findings, priorities and price before additional work begins. After an authorized repair, the result is checked again.
When to have it checked
- Clunks occur over bumps
- The vehicle wanders or feels unstable
- Tires wear unevenly
- Ride height or comfort changed
What we can inspect
- Steering linkage and joints
- Struts, shocks, springs and bushings
- Wheel-bearing and hub checks
- Alignment-related inspection
Technical brief / Steering & Suspension Repair
What turns the concern into a defensible repair plan.
Load-test
Use the correct information and measurements to separate the symptom from its cause.
Align
Review the evidence, authorize the right work and verify the result after completion.
Evidence before authorization
You see the reason behind the recommendation.
Digital inspection findings can include photos, video, measurements and technician notes. Immediate concerns are separated from maintenance that can be planned.
Good questions deserve clear answers.
Can bad struts cause tire wear?+
Yes. Lost damping can reduce tire contact control and contribute to irregular wear.
Do suspension repairs require alignment?+
Many do. It depends on whether the component changes suspension geometry.
Will I receive a price before the repair begins?+
Yes. Findings, priorities and the proposed work are reviewed before additional work is authorized.
What warranty does Albion Auto provide?+
Albion Auto provides a minimum one-year or 20,000-kilometre parts warranty. Ask the team about coverage for the specific repair.
