Shocks, Struts & Suspension Repair Service Near Me in Saginaw | Garber Nissan

Shocks and struts are often mentioned together, but they don't do quite the same job. Shocks are dampers that control how much your springs bounce. Struts combine a damper with a structural support that holds up part of your vehicle's weight and helps keep your wheels aligned. Together with ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links, and coil springs, they make up the suspension system that keeps your ride smooth and your handling precise. At Garber Nissan, our ASE-certified technicians know every part of that system inside and out.

Michigan driving is hard on suspension parts. Potholes, rough railroad crossings, and years of road salt can wear out rubber components and even cause coil springs to rust and snap. Watch for a creaking or popping sound when you turn the wheel at low speeds, a clunk when you go over a driveway apron, steering that feels loose or wanders on the highway, one corner of your vehicle sitting lower than the others, or a ride that suddenly feels harsher than usual. Many technicians recommend having your shocks and struts inspected around 50,000 miles, or sooner if you notice any of these signs.

When we replace shocks or struts, we often recommend doing them in pairs, front or rear, so your vehicle handles evenly side to side. Since strut replacement can affect your wheel angles, we'll also check your alignment afterward to protect your tires and keep your vehicle tracking straight. Our team services vehicles of any make, model, or year, so you're welcome at Garber Nissan even if you bought your vehicle somewhere else.
