Difficulty steering, especially at low speeds or when turning, can be a sign of problems with your car’s steering and suspension system. Worn-out components like the steering rack, tie rods, or suspension bushings can reduce your control and make handling feel stiff or unresponsive. Addressing these issues early ensures safer driving and helps prevent further damage to other parts of your vehicle.
A bouncing or uneven ride often points to worn-out suspension components like shocks, struts, or springs. When these parts fail, your vehicle can’t absorb road impact properly, leading to a rough, uncomfortable ride and reduced stability. Addressing suspension issues promptly helps restore ride quality, improves handling, and keeps your vehicle safe on the road.
Uneven tire wear is a common sign of steering or suspension problems. When components like ball joints, tie rods, or control arms wear out, they can throw off your wheel alignment, causing tires to wear down unevenly or prematurely. Catching this early not only extends the life of your tires but also improves handling and overall driving safety.
If your vehicle consistently pulls to one side while driving, it may indicate an issue with the steering or suspension system. Problems such as misaligned wheels, worn suspension components, or uneven tire pressure can affect your car’s ability to drive straight. This not only makes handling more difficult but can also lead to increased tire wear and reduced safety.
If you count drive time as an upper body workout because your car wants to turn when you want to go straight, you may have steering system problems.

I would not go anywhere else with my car.Posted on Cicindela SauleanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our entire family are customers of Metric Motors ever since we moved to the area 8 years ago and have only good things to say about them. Always professional and knowledgeable. I have an older Audi Allroad which requires special attention being that many of the parts have been discontinued by Audi. The team at Metric always goes above and beyond to address the issues I run into. My car recently needed a radiator and they went all out in order to make that happen. We will never take our cars anywhere else. Thank you guys for all the great work!Posted on John BushnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Primary reason that I use Metric is that I never and I mean never have to go back a second time for a repair. It’s always done right the first time. Nicest people in the world, but also informative taking time to explain all your options. This time, they made my vehicle safer, something we often take for granted. Love these guys.Posted on David BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have a 1959 Austin Healey Sprite that runs like a top and a professional BASF paint job due to the skill of Metric Motors mechanics. Metric Motors honors their warranties. They aren’t cheap, but nothing good is cheap. They also aren’t over the top with prices. My thanks to Dominic, Greg, Arlene and the staff of Metric Motors. I highly recommend their services for domestic and foreign cars. Unfortunately I was told they no longer service 1959 Austin Healey Sprites.
