Regain Stability With Professional Steering & Suspension Repairs in Kalamazoo
Your steering and suspension systems affect handling, ride quality, and tire wear. If your vehicle pulls, clunks, or feels unstable, you may have worn struts, failing tie rods, or loose ball joints. At KZOO Towing Trucks, we handle steering and suspension repairs using OEM-grade parts and advanced diagnostics for safe, smooth driving.
What We Offer – Full Service Steering & Suspension Solutions
We don’t just fix symptoms — we fix the cause. Our full range of steering & suspension service includes:
Advanced Diagnostics
We pinpoint problems like loose tie rods, worn ball joints, broken struts, or misalignment. Our team uses digital inspection tools and lift systems to find the exact issue, fast.
Shocks and Struts Repair
Worn-out shocks and struts can make your ride feel bouncy or harsh. We replace or repair struts and shocks to restore ride quality and road grip, which is especially crucial for Michigan’s rough winters and pothole-filled roads.
Tie Rods and Ball Joint Replacement
Loose steering or popping sounds? Worn tie rods or ball joints can cause sloppy steering or clunking. We replace these with OEM-grade parts to restore tight handling, stability, and safe cornering in all driving conditions.
Wheel Alignments
Misaligned wheels cause uneven tire wear and off-center steering. Our laser-guided alignment restores factory specs, improving control, fuel efficiency, and ride comfort.
Suspension Rebuilds
We replace worn sway bars, bushings, control arms, and coil springs to bring your suspension back to factory condition.
4WD & AWD Suspension Repairs
Do you have a truck or an SUV? We service 4-wheel and all-wheel drive suspensions, too, adjusting ride height, fixing control arms, and rebalancing systems for rough terrain or heavy-duty use.
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
A faulty steering or suspension system puts your safety at risk. Look out for these red flags:
Uneven Tire Wear
If your tires are wearing out unevenly, it’s often a sign of misaligned wheels, damaged control arms, or worn suspension bushings. Fixing the root cause improves handling and helps your tires last longer.
Pulling to One Side While Driving
When your car drifts to one side, even on a straight road, it could mean issues with your alignment, tie rods, or other suspension components. We’ll correct the problem to restore smooth, centered steering.
Vibrations in the Steering Wheel
If your steering wheel shakes or vibrates while driving, the issue may be unbalanced wheels, worn ball joints, or a failing power steering pump. These problems can worsen over time, so it’s important to get them checked early.
Clunking or Squeaking Noises When Turning
Noises during turns usually point to worn struts, sway bar links, or steering components. Replacing these parts will not only stop the noise but also improve handling and safety.
Excessive Bouncing After a Bump
If your car keeps bouncing after hitting a bump, your shocks or struts are likely worn out. We specialize in shocks and struts repair to bring back ride comfort and road control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to fix steering and suspension?
Costs vary depending on the problem. Minor repairs like tie rod replacement may start around $150–$300, while full shocks and struts repair or steering rack replacements can range from $500 to $1,200+. We offer free estimates upfront.
What does steering and suspension mean?
Your steering system controls direction, while the suspension absorbs road impacts and keeps tires in contact with the ground. Together, they provide safe handling, smooth rides, and stable control — especially critical for Kalamazoo roads.
What does suspension service mean?
Suspension service includes inspecting and repairing parts like shocks, struts, ball joints, control arms, and bushings. It’s essential to prevent bouncing, drifting, uneven tire wear, and poor handling, especially in rough conditions.
How much does a suspension diagnostic cost?
A full suspension diagnostic at KZOO Towing Trucks is typically under $100 — and sometimes free with repairs. We check shocks, struts, tie rods, bushings, and perform a wheel alignment check to pinpoint issues fast.
How do I know if my steering or suspension is bad?
Signs include uneven tire wear, drifting to one side, bouncing over bumps, or a shaky steering wheel. If your car doesn’t handle like it used to, it’s time to get a steering and suspension diagnostic at our Kalamazoo shop.
Can I drive with a bad suspension?
Driving with worn-out shocks, struts, or ball joints is risky. It reduces your braking ability, tire traction, and control, especially dangerous in winter or wet conditions. We recommend addressing issues as soon as possible.
How long does suspension repair take?
Most repairs, like tie rod or ball joint replacement, can be done same day. Full suspension overhauls or steering rack repairs may take longer, depending on part availability. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Yes — anytime we replace shocks, struts, or suspension parts, we recommend a wheel alignment. It prevents uneven tire wear and keeps your car driving straight and smooth.
