Suspension System Service at KENSINGTON AUTO in Calgary

Suspension Systems in Your Vehicle

Suspension systems should continue to operate effectively for many years and tens of thousands of kilometers for Calgary drivers, holding your tires’ foot print on the road. Eventually components do wear out, but how long that takes depends a lot on how you drive around Calgary.

As you can imagine, if most of your driving is on smooth Calgary highways, your shock absorbers will last a lot longer than if you do most of your driving on bumpy roads in Calgary or hauling heavy loads. In addition to just wearing out, suspension components can be damaged in an accident or by a hard impact, like a pothole, hitting a curb or a rock on a back country Calgary area road.

Because the life span of shocks can vary so widely, your car maker recommends periodic shock inspections. During an inspection, your KENSINGTON AUTO service advisor will check for worn, broken or missing suspension parts.

If the inspection reveals any problems, take care of this important safety and handling work. We can help you at KENSINGTON AUTO in Calgary. When you replace your shocks, it’s usually a good idea to replace all four at the same time. That’ll give you even handling at all four corners of the vehicle.

If you have special road handling needs like improved cornering or towing or hauling requirements, your KENSINGTON AUTO service advisor can recommend upgraded shocks or struts to get you what you want.
