Understanding Your Vehicle's Suspension System


The Critical Role of Your Suspension

Your vehicle's suspension system is more than just shock absorbers—it's an intricate network of components working together to ensure a smooth ride, optimal handling, and proper tire contact with the road. A properly functioning suspension is essential for both comfort and safety, especially when navigating Colorado Springs' varied terrain from city streets to mountain roads.


Signs of Suspension Problems

Identifying suspension issues early can prevent more serious problems down the road. Watch for these warning signs that indicate your vehicle may need suspension work:


  • Vehicle pulling to one side during driving
  • Unusual bouncing or dipping after hitting bumps
  • Continued bouncing after stopping
  • Uneven tire wear patterns
  • Difficulty steering or loose steering feel
  • Knocking or clunking noises when driving over bumps
  • Vehicle sitting lower on one side


If you've noticed any of these symptoms while driving around Colorado Springs or the 80907 ZIP code area, it's time to schedule a suspension inspection with our certified technicians.

"Griffin went way above and beyond to help me fix my car. When we thought we had the issue fixed I started driving home and my car broke down with the same issue and when I called, Griffin drove to me to see the problem my car was having and got it fixed and got me home the same night. I truly appreciate everything he did. Thanks!"

Common Suspension Questions for Colorado Springs Drivers


  • How often should I replace shocks and struts in Colorado Springs?

    Most manufacturers recommend replacing shocks and struts every 50,000-100,000 miles, but Colorado's extreme temperature variations and road conditions often necessitate earlier replacement. We recommend having your suspension inspected annually, especially if you regularly drive on unpaved roads in areas like Manitou Springs or the mountains surrounding Colorado Springs.

  • Can I drive with suspension problems in Colorado Springs?

    While you might be able to drive with minor suspension issues, we strongly advise against it. Faulty suspension components compromise your vehicle's handling, increase stopping distances, and accelerate wear on other parts. This is particularly dangerous when navigating Colorado Springs' steep hills, mountain passes, and winter driving conditions.

  • How much does suspension work cost in Colorado Springs?

    Suspension repair costs vary based on your vehicle and the specific components needing attention. At Action Automotive, we provide transparent, fair pricing for all suspension work. We'll always perform a thorough inspection first and provide a detailed estimate before beginning any repairs. Our goal is to offer the most cost-effective solution that ensures your safety and vehicle performance.

  • How long does suspension work take to complete?

    Most standard suspension repairs at our Colorado Springs shop can be completed in a single day. More extensive rebuilds might require 1-2 days. We understand that being without your vehicle is inconvenient, so we work efficiently while never compromising on quality. We'll provide an accurate timeframe when you schedule your appointment.

  • Will new suspension components improve my ride quality in Colorado Springs?

    Absolutely! New suspension components can dramatically improve ride comfort, especially when driving on rough roads around Colorado Springs. You'll notice improved handling, reduced noise, and a smoother ride immediately after quality suspension work. This is particularly noticeable when driving on uneven streets in older neighborhoods or transitioning between paved and unpaved surfaces.

  • Do you offer warranties on suspension work?

    Yes, all suspension work performed at Action Automotive comes with a comprehensive warranty. We stand behind our workmanship and the quality parts we install, giving you peace of mind as you drive throughout Colorado Springs and beyond.
