It Shouldn’t Come as a Shock.

Especially this time of year with potholes appearing all over Kansas City your vehicle’s suspension system is more important than ever. It just stands to reason that after supporting several tons of metal year after year, eventually your vehicle’s shocks will wear out and suspension repair will be necessary.

Here are some things to watch for –

1.  The ride is getting noticeably rougher

2.  When you turn, your car drifts

3.  It may even dip when you stop abruptly

4.  You notice that the tire treads are wearing unevenly

5.  Your shocks and struts look “oily”

Replacing shocks and struts in the Kansas City area is just one of the many talents of The A-Team. That is a team of auto mechanics who work on cars from their shop at Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City, KS.

Hey Mom, it’s a Bouncy Castle!

Wonderful words to hear from your children, aren’t they?  They are not so wonderful when referring to your car.  There’s nothing scarier than feeling like you can’t control your vehicle while you’re driving it around Kansas City.  A vehicle that sways and bounces excessively while in motion is disturbing for the driver, and also very dangerous!

Here are some causes for the bouncing –

1.  Your car’s wheels are not aligned.

2.  The tires are worn at different intervals.

3.  The rack bushings are either too tight or too loose (you don’t want loose rack bushings!)

4.  The struts have simply worn out.

Here is an idea.  Visit ableautoservice.net on the web.  Then click on the shocks/struts tab on the website.  See?  The best people in the Kansas City area to visit when you are bouncing about are members of the A-Team at Able Auto Service.  They are conveniently located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Call for an appointment at (913) 321-1030.
