Why Everline for Suspension

Suspension noises are easy to misdiagnose. We road test, then inspect on the hoist with the wheels loaded and unloaded, checking every joint and bushing before recommending anything. Replacements are done in pairs where it matters and followed by an alignment.

Suspension Questions

How long do shocks and struts last?
Typically 80,000 to 120,000 km. Ottawa potholes and salt shorten that. Leaking or bouncing dampers should be replaced in pairs.

Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Yes, whenever control arms, tie rods, struts or springs are replaced.

Can you check pothole damage?
Yes. We inspect rims, tires, alignment and suspension parts and document anything damaged for a City of Ottawa claim.

What is that humming noise?
A hum or growl that changes with speed and shifts when you swerve is usually a wheel bearing. It should be replaced before it fails.
