What We Repair
Common Suspension & Steering Issues We Fix
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Suspension Repair
Is your car telling you it needs suspension work? Watch for these warning signs that Eugene drivers often experience:
- Rough or bouncy rides while driving on West 6th Avenue or other Eugene streets
- Pulling to one side when driving on Highway 126
- Uneven tire wear that compromises traction on rainy Oregon days
- Steering wheel vibrations that make driving uncomfortable
- Nose-diving when braking on Eugene's busy intersections
- Difficulty steering your vehicle through downtown Eugene
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait until minor issues become major problems. Action Automotive's ASE Certified technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to pinpoint suspension and steering problems quickly and accurately.
Critical Suspension & Steering Components We Service
Shocks & Struts Replacement
Your vehicle's shocks and struts absorb road impact, maintaining tire contact with the road surface. When these components wear out, you'll experience uncomfortable bouncing, poor handling, and increased stopping distances.
Our Eugene suspension experts provide:
- Comprehensive shock and strut inspections
- Quality OEM and aftermarket replacement parts
- Complete strut assembly replacements
- Performance-tuned suspension options for Eugene's diverse driving conditions
Precision Wheel Alignment Services
Proper wheel alignment is essential for even tire wear and optimal handling, especially on Oregon's winding roads. Misaligned wheels can reduce fuel efficiency and cause dangerous handling issues.
Our wheel alignment services include:
- Four-wheel computerized alignment
- Camber, caster, and toe adjustments
- Thorough suspension inspection during alignment service
- Post-alignment road testing to ensure proper handling
Ball Joint & Tie Rod Replacement
These critical components connect your steering system to your wheels. When they fail, your steering becomes unpredictable and unsafe. Our technicians expertly replace:
- Ball joints that provide pivot points for your steering system
- Inner and outer tie rods that connect the steering rack to the wheels
- Control arms that support ball joints and bushings
- Idler and pitman arms on older vehicles with conventional steering

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Suspension Repair
How often should shocks and struts be replaced?
Most manufacturers recommend replacing shocks and struts every 50,000-100,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions. In Eugene, where we experience everything from rainy winters to occasional snow and varied road surfaces, your suspension components may wear more quickly. We recommend having your suspension inspected annually as part of regular maintenance.
How do I know if I need a wheel alignment?
Common signs you need wheel alignment include your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or a steering wheel that's off-center when driving straight. After hitting a pothole on Willamette Street or experiencing any impact to your suspension, it's wise to have your alignment checked at Action Automotive.
What causes a bumpy ride in my vehicle?
A bumpy or uncomfortable ride is typically caused by worn shocks or struts, but could also result from damaged bushings, worn ball joints, or even improper tire pressure. Our ASE Certified technicians can diagnose the exact cause of your rough ride and recommend the appropriate repairs.
How long does a typical suspension repair take?
Minor suspension repairs like replacing a single component can often be completed same-day. More extensive work like full strut replacement or complete suspension overhaul may require 1-2 days. At Action Automotive, we provide transparent timelines and convenient Uber rides if your vehicle needs to stay overnight.
Can bad suspension damage other parts of my vehicle?
Yes, driving with worn suspension components can cause accelerated tire wear, stress on steering components, and even affect your vehicle's braking performance. Addressing suspension issues promptly can prevent more expensive repairs down the road.
How much does suspension repair cost in Eugene?
Suspension repair costs vary based on your specific vehicle and the components that need replacement. At Action Automotive, we provide detailed, transparent estimates before beginning any work. We're committed to honest pricing without surprise add-ons or unnecessary repairs.
