Moon Valley’s winding streets, speed humps and mountain-edge roads put steady stress on steering and suspension. Add Phoenix potholes and heat that hardens rubber bushings, and alignment and suspension work make up most of our auto repair in Moon Valley.
Every Alignment Starts With an Inspection
Before we align any car, we check:
- Tie rods, ball joints and control arm bushings for play
- Shocks, struts and springs for leaks and sagging
- Tire wear patterns, which show what has been going wrong
Aligning a car with worn parts only lasts until the next bump. We fix the cause first, then align all four wheels on our front end & alignment rack and print the before-and-after measurements for you.
What Your Car Is Telling You
These symptoms point to different problems:
- The car pulls or the steering wheel is off-center: alignment is out, often after a curb or pothole.
- Bouncing, nose-diving when braking or body roll: worn shocks and struts. See shocks & suspension services.
- A clicking noise when turning: a failing CV joint. See axle & drive shaft repair.
Uneven tire wear is often the first warning. Pair any new tires with an alignment to protect your investment, and keep up with tire rotation and balancing.
