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.

Was able to get my car in and out in under an hour and an half even without of me showing up even without me having an appointment. Highly recommend!!!!Posted on Bill ArmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Metric Motors has been my repair shop of choice for at least the last 30 years. It's not easy to translate many of the problem descriptions presented to a repair shop but Metric is very good at doing this. Greg and family have always been fair and all work has been done right the first time. I had some body work done by Metric several months ago and my car looks great.Posted on Gerard KoziakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly staff and mechanics. Explained all aspects of the repairs my vehicle required. I had new tires installed and requested a four wheel alignment. When it came time to pay the bill I was told by Gina that my truck only required a 2 wheel alignment since it had a solid rear axle. It saved me some money. I wouldn’t have known the difference and I realized that they are a reputable family owned business. I will be using them in the future.Posted on leonor leivaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
