Suspension Services in Orem, Utah
Keeping your ride smooth and your vehicle handling the way it should
Your suspension does more than just smooth out bumps—it keeps your tires in contact with the road, helps you steer, and stops safely. When it's worn out or damaged, you'll feel it. The ride gets rough, handling gets sloppy, and your vehicle doesn't respond the way it used to. At Gea Automotive, we diagnose and repair suspension issues so your car drives like it's supposed to.
What We Fix
Suspension systems have a lot of moving parts, and any one of them can wear out or break. Here's what we work on:
Shocks and struts – These are what absorb impacts and keep your vehicle stable. When they're worn, you'll bounce more, feel every bump, and notice your car dips hard when you brake.
Springs – Coil springs and leaf springs support your vehicle's weight. If one breaks or sags, your car will sit uneven and handle poorly.
Control arms and bushings – These connect your wheels to the frame and allow them to move up and down. Worn bushings cause clunking noises and make steering feel loose.
Ball joints – These let your wheels pivot when you turn. When they wear out, you'll hear popping sounds and your steering will feel unstable.
Tie rods and steering linkage – These connect your steering wheel to your wheels. If they're loose or damaged, your steering will wander and your alignment will be off.
Sway bars and links – These reduce body roll when you turn. Broken links cause clunking and make your vehicle lean more in corners.
Alignment – After suspension work, we align your wheels so they point straight and your tires wear evenly.
Signs Your Suspension Needs Work
Don't ignore these warning signs:
Your ride feels rougher than it used to
The car bounces or dips excessively over bumps
You hear clunking, knocking, or rattling from underneath
Your vehicle pulls to one side or the steering feels loose
Uneven tire wear—especially on the inside or outside edges
The car sits lower on one side
You feel every crack in the road
How Long Does Suspension Last?
Most suspension components last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, but it depends on how and where you drive. Rough roads, potholes, speed bumps, and off-road driving all take a toll. Shocks and struts tend to wear out gradually, so you might not notice the problem until it's pretty far gone.
Why Suspension Matters
A worn suspension isn't just uncomfortable—it's dangerous. Your vehicle won't handle properly, braking distances increase, and you lose control in emergency situations. It also causes premature tire wear, which costs you money, and puts extra stress on other parts of your car.
We've seen people drive on blown shocks for months because they got used to the rough ride. Don't do that. If something feels off, bring it in and let us check it out.
What to Expect
When you bring your vehicle in for suspension work, we'll do a full inspection. We'll check every component, test drive it if needed, and let you know what's worn and what needs attention now versus later. We don't upsell—we just tell you what's going on and what we recommend.
After repairs, we'll make sure everything is tight, aligned, and working properly. You should notice the difference immediately—smoother ride, better handling, and more confidence behind the wheel.
Get Back on the Road
We know how stressful accidents are. Let us handle the repair side of things so you can focus on everything else. Bring your car in, and we'll walk you through the process from start to finish.
Schedule Your Suspension Inspection
If your car isn't riding right or you're hearing noises you can't explain, don't wait. The longer you drive on worn suspension, the more damage you'll do to other parts. Let us take a look and get it sorted out.
