Steering and Suspension Repair in Philadelphia, PA

In order to be able to properly control your vehicle, the steering and suspension systems must be kept in good working condition. The suspension system of our cars is constantly holding the weight of your vehicle, which is why regular maintenance and inspections are vital to maintaining the health of the suspension system. When a suspension problem does occur, you may begin to experience trouble steering, braking, and will notice that your ride is uncomfortable and shaky.

Maintaining proper wheel alignment is also important for a number of different reasons. Correctly aligned wheels will give you accurate handling of your vehicle, increase the overall life of your tires, improve your car’s gas mileage, and will assure your safety on the road.

When you continue to drive your vehicle with bad wheel alignment, you increase the resistance of your tires and therefore decrease your fuel efficiency. You also run the risk of causing excessive and uneven tire wear, which can lead to needing a new set of tires much sooner than would have been needed with proper alignment. Wheel alignment can also have an affect on suspension parts which may need replacing if damage occurs over time.

Here at W.P.Cooke Tire in Philadelphia, PA, we are here to help with all of your vehicle’s suspension repair and front-end alignment service needs. If you suspect a problem with the suspension system, you can trust that our ASE certified professionals will perform a comprehensive vehicle inspection to identify the cause of the issue. We will also help you better maintain your suspension system by educating you on the proper preventative maintenance needed to keep this system running at its best.
