Ajax Suspension Repair Shop & Cost


Vehicle: GMC Sierra 1500 2015  

Service: Suspension Repair  

Location: Ajax, Ontario


Problem: A customer brought their GMC Sierra 1500 to our mechanic shop in Ajax, reporting issues with their suspension system. The vehicle was experiencing a bumpy ride, uneven tire wear, and difficulty maintaining control while driving.


Solution: Our mechanic team conducted a thorough inspection of the suspension system to determine the root cause of the problem. We discovered that the front suspension struts were worn out and needed to be replaced. The worn struts were causing the suspension system to be ineffective, leading to a bumpy ride and tire wear.


We sourced high-quality replacement struts from a trusted supplier and proceeded to remove the old struts and install the new ones. We also performed a comprehensive inspection of the related suspension components, including the control arms, ball joints, and tie rods, to ensure that the system was functioning correctly.


Once the installation was complete, we conducted a road test to confirm that the suspension system was operating smoothly and the vehicle was stable during driving.


Cost Estimate: The cost of the suspension repair service in Ajax was broken down as follows:


Front Strut Replacement: $899.99  

Labor: $250.00


Total Cost: $1,149.99


The suspension repair service provided in Ajax resulted in a significant improvement in the ride quality, tire wear, and overall stability of the customer's GMC Sierra 1500. They were pleased with the prompt and efficient service, the quality of the replacement struts, and the competitive pricing.

Complete Suspension Repairs in Ajax Including:


  • Shock absorber replacement: Shock absorbers help to absorb the bumps and vibrations of the road. Over time, they can wear out, leak fluid or become damaged, resulting in a bumpy or unstable ride.


  • Strut replacement: Struts are a type of shock absorber that also provides structural support for the vehicle's suspension system. Like shock absorbers, struts can wear out and fail over time, leading to a harsh ride and poor handling.


  • Ball joint replacement: Ball joints connect the steering knuckle to the control arm, allowing for movement and flexibility in the suspension system. Over time, ball joints can wear out or become damaged, leading to a loose or unstable front end.


  • Control arm replacement: Control arms connect the vehicle's frame to the steering knuckle and help to control the vehicle's movement and alignment. Over time, control arms can become damaged or worn out, leading to poor handling and alignment issues.


  • Sway bar link replacement: Sway bars help to reduce body roll and stabilize the vehicle during turns. Sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension system and can wear out or become damaged over time, leading to clunking noises or poor handling.


  • Tie rod end replacement: Tie rod ends connect the steering rack to the steering knuckle and help to control the movement of the wheels. Over time, tie rod ends can become worn or damaged, leading to poor steering control and alignment issues.


These are some of the most common suspension repairs in Ajax, but there can be many other repairs required depending on the make and model of the vehicle and its usage. It's always best to have your vehicle inspected to determine the specific suspension repair needed.

Shock Absorber Replacement in Ajax


There are a few symptoms that are very specific to shock absorber replacement:


  • Excessive bouncing: If your car bounces excessively while driving, especially over bumps or uneven roads, it could be a sign that your shock absorbers need to be replaced. Worn out shock absorbers cannot effectively absorb the impact of bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.


  • Poor handling and stability: When the shock absorbers are worn out, your car's handling and stability will be affected. You may notice that your car sways or leans excessively when turning or changing lanes. This can be dangerous, as it affects your ability to control the vehicle.


  • Uneven tire wear: Worn-out shock absorbers can cause your tires to wear unevenly. This is because the bouncing and instability caused by worn shock absorbers can put uneven pressure on your tires, causing them to wear out faster on certain areas.


  • Suspension Noise: If you hear clunking or banging noises coming from your car's suspension system, it could be a sign that your shock absorbers need to be replaced. Worn-out shock absorbers can cause the suspension system to become loose, leading to noisy clunks and bangs.


  • Longer stopping distance: Worn-out shock absorbers can also affect your car's braking performance. If your car takes longer to stop than usual, it could be a sign that your shock absorbers are not working effectively. This can be dangerous, as it can increase your stopping distance and make it harder to avoid accidents.

Struts Replacement in Ajax


In addition to suspension noise while driving, excessive vehicle bouncing, and uneven tire wear, symptoms that are specific to strut replacement may include:


  • Vehicle leaning to one side: When a strut is worn out or damaged, it may cause the vehicle to lean to one side.


  • Bottoming out: If you notice that your vehicle is bouncing excessively or bottoming out over bumps, it may be a sign that the struts need to be replaced.


  • Steering problems: Worn out or damaged struts can cause problems with steering, such as a loss of responsiveness or difficulty in turning the wheel.


  • Poor handling: Worn out or damaged struts can affect the handling of the vehicle, making it more difficult to control, especially on corners or curves.


It is important to note that these symptoms may also be indicative of other issues with your vehicle, so it is best to have our strut replacement shop in Ajax inspect the problem to determine if it is related to the struts or something else entirely.

  • Steering wheel not returning to its original position after making a turn.

Control Arm Replacement in Ajax


Control arm replacement is a common automotive repair that involves replacing the control arm, which is a crucial component of a vehicle's suspension system.


In addition to suspension noise and uneven tire wear, symptoms that may indicate the need for a control arm replacement include:


  • Vehicle vibrations: If you notice unusual vibrations or shaking while driving, this could indicate that the control arm is worn or damaged. This can be especially noticeable when driving over uneven surfaces or at high speeds.


  • Steering problems: A control arm that is worn or damaged can affect the steering of the vehicle. This can result in poor handling, difficulty turning, or a pulling sensation while driving.


  • Poor alignment: If the control arm is out of alignment, it can cause the vehicle to pull to one side or the other while driving.


It is important to have any of these symptoms checked out by our local mechanic, as a worn or damaged control arm can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle.

Sway Bar Link Replacement in Ajax


The symptoms that are very specific to a sway bar link replacement typically include:


  • Clunking or knocking noise: One of the most common signs of a bad sway bar link is a clunking or knocking noise when you drive over bumps or uneven surfaces. This noise can often be heard coming from the front or rear of the vehicle and may get louder as you drive faster.


  • Handling problems: A worn or damaged sway bar link can cause your vehicle to handle poorly, particularly when you are turning or cornering. You may notice that your vehicle feels more unstable or that the steering is less responsive than usual.


  • Swaying or leaning: A worn or broken sway bar link can cause your vehicle to sway or lean excessively when you are driving, particularly when you are going around corners or making turns.


If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your vehicle inspected to determine if a sway bar link replacement in Ajax is necessary.

Tie Rod End Replacement in Ajax


There are several symptoms that are specific to tie rod end replacement, including:


  • Steering wheel vibration: As tie rod ends wear out, they can cause the steering wheel to vibrate or shake, especially at higher speeds.


  • Loose steering: Worn tie rod ends can also cause the steering to feel loose or imprecise, as the tie rods are no longer able to keep the wheels aligned properly.


  • Clunking steering noises: When tie rod ends are worn, they may make clunking or rattling noises when you turn the steering wheel or go over bumps.


  • Steering wheel off-center: A worn tie rod end can cause the steering wheel to be off-center, even when the wheels are straight.


If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have your tie rod ends inspected to determine if they need to be replaced.
