“Amazing team. Honest, quick, solved my problem and I was gone in under an hour!”

Pooles Land • Suspension & Steering at MTB Auto Service, Nanaimo
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“would like to thanks for the help of George. I was travelling from Vancouver to Nanaimo and have my gear issue when I was there. He was patiently to explain the brake switch issue to me, helping me to fix the issue temporarily and how to repair it when I get back to Vancouver. He is a wonderful person. If I was living in Nanaimo, I have no doubt to ask for his help if my vehicle have any problems.<br>Strongly recommend”

Common Causes of Suspension & Steering Wear

Overloading the vehicle beyond its designed weight capacity

Aggressive driving over speed bumps and curbs

Signs Your Suspension Needs Attention

Vehicle pulls to one side or the steering wheel is off-center
Excessive bouncing after hitting a bump—the car doesn't settle
Clunking, knocking, or squeaking noises over bumps
Uneven tire wear on the inner or outer edges
Steering feels loose, vague, or requires excessive effort
Vehicle nose-dives when braking or leans excessively in turns

Suspension & Steering Tips

Have your suspension inspected every 80,000 km or if you notice handling changes
Always get a wheel alignment after replacing any suspension components
Replace shocks and struts in pairs (both front or both rear) for balanced handling
Avoid overloading your vehicle—check the door jamb sticker for weight limits
Drive cautiously over potholes and speed bumps to extend suspension life
Uneven tire wear is often the first sign of a suspension problem—check your tires monthly

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do shocks and struts cost to replace in Nanaimo? +
Replacing all four shocks or struts typically costs $800-$1,600 including parts and labor. Struts with integrated spring assemblies are more expensive than basic shock absorbers.
How often should suspension components be replaced? +
Shocks and struts generally last 80,000-150,000 km. Ball joints and tie rod ends vary, but should be inspected annually and replaced when play or looseness is detected.
Do I need a wheel alignment after hitting a pothole? +
If you hit a significant pothole and notice the steering wheel is off-center or the vehicle pulls, yes—get an alignment check immediately to prevent expensive uneven tire wear.
What's the difference between shocks and struts? +
Struts are a structural component that integrates the coil spring and shock absorber into one unit. Shocks are standalone dampers mounted separately. Your vehicle uses one or the other depending on the suspension design.
