Suspension Service

Smooth, Stable, and Safe—Ride Quality You Can Rely On

Your suspension system plays a critical role in how your vehicle handles, how comfortable your ride feels, and how safely you can steer and stop. At A&R Auto and Emissions in Conyers, GA, we provide comprehensive suspension services designed to restore and maintain the performance, safety, and ride quality your vehicle was built to deliver.

Whether you're noticing clunky noises, feeling every bump in the road, or struggling with control while driving, our experienced technicians are here to help. We offer clear communication, personalized service, and expert solutions tailored to your vehicle’s unique needs.

What Is the Suspension System?

Your vehicle’s suspension system connects the wheels to the chassis and absorbs the shock from road surfaces. It’s responsible for keeping your tires in firm contact with the road while also managing body movement and distributing weight evenly.

A typical suspension system includes:

• Shocks and struts
• Springs (coil or leaf)
• Control arms
• Ball joints
• Sway bars and stabilizer links
• Bushings and mounts
• Wheel bearings

These parts work together to support your vehicle’s weight, smooth out road imperfections, and help you stay in control while steering or braking. Over time, suspension components wear out from regular use, road debris, and exposure to the elements—especially on Georgia’s mix of urban, rural, and weather-affected roads.

Signs Your Suspension May Need Attention

A well-maintained suspension system contributes directly to your comfort and safety. If one or more components are worn or failing, you’ll begin to notice changes in how your car handles, turns, or rides.

Here are some common signs that your suspension may need service:

• Rough or bouncy ride
• Vehicle leans or dips when braking, turning, or accelerating
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front or rear
• Uneven or accelerated tire wear
• Steering feels loose, stiff, or unresponsive
• Car pulls to one side while driving
• Visible oil leaks from shocks or struts
• Vehicle sits lower on one side

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to bring your vehicle in for a suspension inspection. Catching these issues early helps avoid more costly repairs later—like uneven tire wear, damaged steering components, or compromised safety.

Complete Suspension Services We Offer

At A&R Auto and Emissions, we take the time to evaluate your entire suspension system. We don’t just replace parts—we assess performance, look for patterns, and explain what’s going on clearly and honestly. Every service is handled with precision, using quality components and up-to-date techniques.

Our suspension services include:

Suspension Inspections

We start with a thorough inspection of all suspension components, including shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, and steering linkages. We check for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, or fluid leaks and test ride height and responsiveness.

Shock and Strut Replacement

Worn shocks and struts lead to a rough ride and poor handling. We replace them with high-quality components that restore comfort and control, using parts that match your vehicle’s specifications.

Control Arm and Bushing Replacement

Control arms and bushings maintain wheel alignment and absorb road vibrations. When worn, they can cause clunking noises, misalignment, and unstable handling. We install new components to restore ride quality and vehicle balance.

Ball Joint and Tie Rod End Replacement

Ball joints and tie rods allow for smooth steering and suspension movement. Replacing worn joints ensures safety and improves directional control.

Sway Bar and Linkage Repair

Sway bars reduce body roll during turns. If you notice excessive leaning or hear clicking sounds, your stabilizer links or bushings may be worn. We provide targeted repairs to keep your car level and stable in every corner.

Coil Spring and Leaf Spring Replacement

Springs support your vehicle’s weight and absorb shocks. Broken or sagging springs reduce handling, ride height, and overall suspension performance. We can replace individual springs or full sets to restore factory-level support.

Alignment Recommendations

While we don’t perform alignments in-house, we will advise you if misalignment is present and refer you to a trusted local partner. Correct alignment ensures longer tire life and proper handling.

Custom Solutions for Every Vehicle

Different vehicles have different suspension systems and service needs. Whether you drive a sedan, SUV, pickup truck, or performance vehicle, our technicians understand how to handle your vehicle’s specific suspension configuration.

We service:

• Front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive systems
• Independent and solid axle suspension setups
• Conventional and electronic suspension systems
• Domestic and foreign makes
• Older models and newer, computer-assisted systems

We’ll always take the time to discuss what’s best for your vehicle based on its design, mileage, and how you use it daily—whether that’s commuting, hauling, or long-distance travel.

Transparent Service with Direct Technician Communication

At A&R Auto and Emissions, we pride ourselves on building long-term trust. That’s why we offer something that’s increasingly rare in auto repair: direct communication with the technician working on your vehicle.

When you bring your car in, we:

• Provide written estimates and options

• Keep you updated throughout the repair process

You’ll never be pressured or kept in the dark. We’re here to help you make informed decisions with your comfort, safety, and budget in mind.
