“Cant beat their prices”

M Harhara • Suspension & Steering at Princess Auto, Ottawa
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“Alex and his team were recommended to me when I moved to the area and had issues with my truck. Both times I've had to take my truck there they were able to get the work done quickly and done well. Alex is honest when it comes to explanation of parts and work required and communicates that clearly. I would recommend this shop to anyone in the area who needs to have work done on their vehicle.”

William Gark • Suspension & Steering at Precision Autoworks, Ottawa

“Outstanding customer service. The mechanics here really take their time to diagnose your vehicle and thoroughly explain any symptoms and what can be done to fix it.
Repairs are done at a very high quality and with honesty. I would highly recommend this place for any services that you need and be in high confidence that your vehicle will be taken care of.”

Merrade S • Suspension & Steering at Precision Autoworks, Ottawa

“The mechanics here are very clear about what's wrong with the car and what needs to be done. I like the honesty with which they communicate with me here (I know a little about cars). No one tries to push you into unnecessary repairs and unnecessary expenses. Big respect to all the mechanics at Precision Autoworks and personally to Alex.”

Find a Best Suspension & Steering in Ottawa, ON

Ottawa's roads are among the most pothole-affected in Ontario, a direct consequence of the freeze-thaw cycles produced by the region's heavy road salt program interacting with the local soil conditions — a combination that fractures asphalt aggressively through winter and leaves behind the road surface damage that is hard on suspension components every spring.

Common Causes of Suspension & Steering Wear

Potholes and rough road conditions impacting suspension components
Normal high-mileage wear on bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends
Road salt corrosion on suspension bolts and fasteners
Overloading the vehicle beyond its designed weight capacity
Worn shocks and struts losing their damping ability over time
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 Ottawa? +
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.
