SUSPENSION // SHOCKS TO TIE RODS

What's included

DIAGNOSISFind the noiseA road test and a look underneath with the wheels off to find the worn part, not the nearest one.
SHOCKS & STRUTSPairs, matchedWorn dampers replaced in pairs so the vehicle sits and handles evenly.
STEERINGTie rods and endsPlay in the steering traced to the tie rod, rack or joint that has it.
THEN ALIGNSo it holdsSteering and suspension work changes the geometry; the alignment afterwards is part of the job.

Signs you need it

Noises and handling first, tire wear second. Any of these is worth a road test with us.

  • A clunk over bumps, or a rattle on rough gravel.
  • The front end bounces more than once after a dip.
  • Wandering on the highway, or steering that feels loose.
  • Uneven tire wear that an alignment did not fix.
  • Fluid on a shock or strut body.

Suspension & Steering in the Foothills

What thirty-four winters on Railway Street taught us about this job.

Gravel and frost heave do the wear. The range roads and the older town streets shake tie rod ends and ball joints loose a little at a time, and a winter of frozen ruts finishes the shocks. Trucks that tow or carry a load through the week wear rear dampers first, and the sign is a sag at the hitch and a bounce at the rear over Highway 2A's expansion joints. Because every steering and suspension repair changes the geometry, the alignment afterwards is not an upsell; it is the part of the job that stops the new parts wearing the tires.

FAQ // SUSPENSION & STEERING IN OKOTOKS

Straight Answers

Did not find it? Call (403) 938-3110 during shop hours, or ask at the counter.

How much is suspension work in Okotoks?

It depends on the part and the vehicle. One quote covers parts, labour and the alignment after, before any work starts.

Do you replace shocks and struts in pairs?

Yes, where it matters. A new damper beside a worn one handles unevenly; we explain which case yours is.

How long does it take?

Booked into the bay. Most jobs are same-day, though a seized or badly rusted vehicle takes longer; we tell you when you book.

Can you do lifted or lowered vehicles?

Yes. Lift kits, levelling kits and lowered cars are aligned to numbers that suit the setup.

Why Rim2Rim for suspension?

Because the alignment rig is in the same bay, so the fix is finished the same day and it holds.
