The auto suspension system is critical for proper steering, stopping, and stability. It is what connects your wheels to your vehicle, controls handling, and delivers a smooth ride. The suspension system is made of many different parts, which can become worn down over time.

When you need suspension repair or replacement in Johns Creek, Georgia, contact McCullough NAPA Auto Care to diagnose and troubleshoot any problems with your suspension and steering system.

Your suspension has a lot of joints and pivot points that allow your wheels to move up and down over bumps and turn as you steer. These parts include ball joints, tie rod ends, the pitman, idler arms, and the control arm bushing, and they will wear out over time. When a joint or other part is worn out, the suspension parts don’t fit together as tight as they should. Handling and steering will have a loose feel, and you may hear strange noises. Your tires will also wear unevenly as they bounce off-kilter down the road.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Suspension Repair or Replacement

Shocks and struts are part of a vehicle’s suspension system and help to stabilize movements. Shocks and struts also provide control when you turn, accelerate or ride on uneven surfaces. Shocks are individual components of the suspension system, while struts are a major structural component of the chassis and suspension system.

You may be wondering how to tell if your suspension system needs repair or if your shocks and struts need replacement. Here are 3 signs that your suspension system, shocks, and struts, need repair or replacement.

1 – Vehicle Bounces As You Drive

A strut’s primary job is to control your vehicle’s body motion, which includes bouncing. Struts are designed to absorb the up-and-down, side-to-side movements associated with braking, turning, and driving on rough pavement. It is normal for struts to wear down over time. You may need to replace your struts if you notice a certain softness in how your car handles or if your vehicle is generally more bouncy than it once was. Pay extra attention to how your car’s front end handles going over bumps. Too much bounce is a sign you need to replace your struts.

2 – Clunking, Knocking, and Other Noises

When your car’s body moves uncontrollably, specific suspension components may come into contact with each other with more force than they’re designed to. This can lead to worn-out struts, excessive noise, and extra wear on your suspension system. If sounds like repeated clunking, knocking, or banging can be heard while your suspension is engaged, that is a sign you should replace your struts. Driving on a bad strut can damage other areas of the suspension system, so it’s crucial to replace bad struts as soon as you notice regular worrisome noises.

3 – Uneven, Worn-Out Tires

Bad struts won’t be able to keep your tires in constant contact with the road. This will make your car bounce or float as you drive, creating uneven wear patterns on the tread of your tires since they aren’t touching the ground one complete rotation at a time. If your tire tread shows spotty and inconsistent, rather than the wear around the entire perimeter of the tire, that indicates that your struts are failing.

I know for me one hard thing about choosing a mechanic is brushing off all previous notions I have about mechanics Potentially not treating my car how they would treat their own car. This place has done more than exceed my expectations. I got a phone call for every update, I got a thorough description of what was to be done and what was wrong, not only that, but where the dealership said it would take them two weeks to fix my car, these guys did it in less than 24 hours. I have never been happier to spend $300 in my life. Anything I need in the future, you can be sure I’ll bring it here.

My experience was surprisingly excellent. I was greeted immediately before I could actually get out my car. Eric was professional and friendly. Eric Followed up with me has promised. I really like that Eric shares real honest timing/wait expectations.

I received great service from this location! I called them about replacing a serpentine belt and they got it done for me the very next morning. It was quick, and cheaper than some other places that I had called for the same service. Eric and his team did a great job, and they were very nice! I will definitely return for any other auto repair I may need in the future.

Had experienced front tire damage hitting metal debris on I-285 just before Rosewll exit. Immediately exited on Roswell and saw NAPA sign and pulled in. Place was busy! But got attention immediately by Jeff service worker. Got tire off my car no waiting. Wow! Determined rim bent but tire still good. He could have sold me a new tire and i would have not known better. So appreciative. Then met with Eric McCullough and quickly arranged to have rim fixed. I decided on new tires for safety and were worn. Eric got me great deal on tires and had my car fixed SAME day. Eric runs a super customer-focused operation. Kudos! Bruce Fike

I own and automotive repair business in Jacksonville, but my wife lives in Atlanta and needed tires for her car, so I know good service and fair pricing in this industry. I chose McCullough because of their good reviews and they did not disappoint. They were very professional and took good care of my wife. I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for her service needs.

McCullough has been my family's go-to mechanic for decades. Don't know what I would do without them - just a super-nice family that will take care of your cars. Their service is important to us because once we get a new car, we like to hold onto it for years (10-12). Highly recommend.

This place is exactly the kind of service you come to expect. Great service, timely, and they never assume I don’t know what I’m talking about because I’m a girl.

I would normally recommend this business as I have been here a few times. I went there Friday for an oil change. However, I honestly didn't feel safe. They have signs that customers must wear a mask. There was only one employee wearing a mask themselves. All the others didn't have a mask on. I feel this is disrespectful to their customers. I understand it can be uncomfortable but it is essential during these times.

Eric and Company are a first class operation! They get it right the first time in every time! They will pick me up and drop me off to make it 100 times more convenient. They treat me like family and look after my best interest not just their bottom line! These are the kind of people that I value doing business with

We had an issue with a splash shield dragging and overheating. We are heading back to Kansas this afternoon. They were able to fit us in despite being super busy & do a quick fix and sent us on our way in 10 minutes. So kind and amazing service!

Came in for emissions and they exceeded my expectations! Saw headlight out, replaced it. Saw no oil sticker, checked it and put a little in it until i can get back in for change. While waiting you could tell these guys really care about their customers and the safety of their vehicles. Definitely will be coming back here!

After recently moving to the area, I had a vehicle emergency where my transmission needed replacing. Graham immediately took me in and was SO kind, professional, and direct about the costs; one of their kind staff members even drove me home after my car was dropped for repair so that I did not have to call a car service. They were so patient with me and got my car back to me in one day completely fixed and ready to go! I will never use any other automotive repair shop in the area! ABSOLUTELY recommend without hesitation!

This is the best place you could possibly go to take care of your car! My family and I have been going here for over 15 years and we recommend them to everyone. Eric, Bryan, and Graham are the most trustworthy guys and truly care about their customers. We all love them and are so thankful we found them!!

I have used this company twice and was VERY impressed both times with the honesty, knowledge, and cost-effectiveness of the mechanics that I worked with. They were upfront with me on what I needed to do now vs what could wait, showed me where I could save money, and worked with me to make sure I had my car finished before I needed it that weekend. Again, very very impressed. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else in Atlanta.

Great customer service! Eric and team did an awesome job coordinating their busy schedule with the schedule of my girlfriend and myself so that we would have a car during the work week and then trade off cars when the other was ready. They are extremely friendly and it felt like they had us as the customer in mind. Highly recommend!

Eric has been my service manager for years. He is always professional and easy to deal with. He goes out of his way to take care of your needs and makes accommodations to the customer when needed. They will ferry me and my car to and from their shop (I live within blocks) and I appreciate that very much. Everyone at McCullough is nice, friendly and helpful.

Eric was amazing from start to finish. I chose this shop for my repair based on previous reviews & I'm glad I did. He made sure to, in my opinion, go above and beyond with his politeness, as well as helping to make the process smooth and to try to save me as many coins as he could, while still getting done what was needed. Very happy with this visit

I may have written one other recommendation in my of 50 years, but after doing business with Eric McCullough for 35 of those years it is time to write another one. He maintained and serviced my auto's, my wife, kids and employees for 32 of those 35 years. He has stood behind the work on everything he and his employees have done. He operates his business with great honesty and integrity. I highly recommend doing business. with McCullough
