Helping us understand a steering or suspension issue
Clunks, wandering and uneven tire wear can come from different parts of the vehicle. Let us know whether the noise happens over bumps, while braking or during turns, and whether steering feels loose at a particular speed. Photos of tire wear can also help illustrate what you are seeing.
If you are considering a lift kit, explain how you use the vehicle and what you want to change. Ride height, handling and tire fitment should be considered together rather than treating the installation as a cosmetic change alone.
Helpful details to share
- Describe when a clunk, pull or steering vibration happens.
- Mention uneven tire wear or recent tire and wheel changes.
- For lift-kit questions, bring your intended use and wheel/tire details.
What are signs of worn suspension parts?
Common symptoms include clunks over bumps, uneven tire wear, wandering, excessive bouncing, steering play or a vehicle that no longer feels planted.
Do you install lift kits?
Yes. McKay's Garage offers lift-kit related work and can discuss the tradeoffs that come with changing ride height and suspension geometry.
Can suspension problems cause tire wear?
Yes. Worn steering or suspension components can change how the tire meets the road and may contribute to uneven or accelerated wear.
