Steering & Suspension Repair
Struts, shocks, control arms, ball joints, sway bar links, and power steering rack replacements for precise, quiet handling.
Service Overview
Pennsylvania roads and winter frost heaves test vehicle suspensions. Worn struts and ball joints cause bouncy rides, premature tire wear, and longer braking distances. Rinaldi Auto Service restores factory handling stability.
What Our Service Includes
Struts & Shock Absorbers
We replace blown hydraulic shocks and quick-strut assemblies to eliminate excessive vehicle body roll and nose-diving during sudden stops.
Ball Joints, Tie Rods & Control Arms
Loose ball joints and cracked suspension bushings produce loud clunking over bumps and compromise directional control.
Common Warning Signs & Symptoms
If you notice any of the following, schedule an inspection promptly:
- Clunking or rattling sound when driving over bumps or rough railroad tracks
- Car bounces several times after hitting dips in the road
- Uneven or cupped tire tread wear patterns
- Excessive wandering or play in the steering wheel
Frequently Asked Questions
When should shocks and struts be replaced?
Shocks and struts generally last 50,000 to 75,000 miles. Signs of failure include leaking hydraulic oil on the strut body or vehicle instability in crosswinds.
