Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include a bouncy ride, excessive body roll in turns, nose-diving when braking, uneven tire wear, and fluid leaking from the strut or shock. Most need replacement between 50,000 and 100,000 miles.
We recommend a wheel alignment every 12 months or whenever you notice uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, or after hitting a significant pothole or curb.
Clunking over bumps often indicates worn sway bar links, ball joints, control arm bushings, or strut mounts. A thorough suspension inspection identifies the specific worn component.

What are the signs my suspension and steering needs repair?
If your car pulls to one side, bounces excessively after bumps, or shows uneven tire wear, these are classic signs your suspension and steering system is wearing out. You might also hear clunking noises over potholes, feel vibrations in the steering wheel, or notice the vehicle nose-dives when braking.

Why is my car pulling to one side?
Your car pulling to one side during driving or braking usually points to suspension and steering misalignment or worn components. Common culprits include misaligned wheels, faulty ball joints, damaged tie rods, or uneven tire pressure from bad struts. It can also stem from control arm bushings or sway bar links failing under Simi Valley's roads. This affects tire contact and handling safety. Perry's ASE Certified technicians diagnose with a test drive and full alignment check, fixing issues like worn shocks or steering rack problems efficiently. Our repairs come with a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty for peace of mind. Don't ignore pulling—stop by for a suspension and steering diagnostic to stay safe on the road.

Why is my steering wheel vibrating?
A vibrating steering wheel, especially at highway speeds, often signals suspension and steering troubles like worn tie rods, bad strut bearings, or unbalanced tires from faulty shocks. It could also be loose ball joints or a failing steering rack causing shuddering turns. These issues reduce control and accelerate tire wear. In Simi Valley's conditions, potholes speed up wear on these parts. Our family-owned shop since 2000 uses precise diagnostics to identify and replace components like control arms or power steering parts.

Why do I hear clunking noises from my suspension?
Clunking or knocking over bumps typically comes from loose or worn suspension parts like sway bar links, ball joints, tie rod ends, or strut mounts in your steering and suspension system. Bad bushings or control arms can also create these noises, signaling play that affects stability. Ignoring them risks tire wear or failure. Perry's Quality Auto Repair's ASE techs inspect every component—from shocks to steering rack—for precise fixes tailored to your vehicle. Family-owned since 2000 with a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty, we ensure quiet, safe rides. Bring your car in for a suspension and steering check if clunks persist.
