Your steering and suspension systems work together to keep your vehicle stable, smooth, and safe. When something feels loose, bouncy, shaky, or noisy, it’s often a sign that a component is worn or failing. At Metairie Automotive, our ASE‑certified technicians diagnose and repair steering and suspension issues to restore comfort, control, and safety on the road. 

Our Steering & Suspension Services

Suspension Inspection

We perform a full inspection of shocks, struts, springs, bushings, and mounts to identify wear or damage.

Common symptoms:

• Excessive bouncing

• Nose‑diving when braking

• Uneven tire wear

• Rough or unstable ride

Shock & Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts absorb bumps and keep your tires firmly on the road. When they wear out, your vehicle becomes unstable and harder to control.

Signs you may need new shocks/struts:

• Bouncy ride

• Fluid leaking from struts

• Clunking noises

• Poor handling

Ball Joints, Control Arms & Bushings

These components keep your wheels aligned and stable. Worn joints or bushings can cause looseness, vibration, and uneven tire wear.

We repair:

• Upper/lower ball joints

• Control arms

• Sway bar links

• Suspension bushings
