That's why we believe that knowledge is power when it comes to maintaining your vehicle’s suspension system.

Understanding the Suspension System
Your car's suspension system is a complex network of components designed to optimize drivability and comfort by absorbing shocks from the road. Key components include the springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, and ball joints. Each piece works harmoniously to maintain vehicle stability, reduce noise, and improve handling.

Why Regular Suspension Maintenance is Key
Regular maintenance of your vehicle's suspension system is essential not only for comfort but also for safety. Over time, components can wear out, leading to decreased handling, increased stopping distances, and even tire damage. At Hemlock Auto & Alignment, we're here to help you maintain these critical parts, so you can avoid costly repairs and stay safe on the road.
