Suspension & Steering

Struts, control arms, ball joints, sway bar links, hubs, power steering pumps.

Suspension & Steering for Every Make & Model

We stock and source suspension & steering in both OEM and quality aftermarket options. Tell us your vehicle — Year/Make/Model or VIN — and a parts specialist confirms exact fitment, checks stock, and quotes your price before anything ships.

Signs you need suspension & steering

  • Clunks or rattles over bumps
  • Uneven or cupped tire wear
  • Wandering, pulling, or loose steering feel
  • Nose-diving under braking

Getting the right fit

Shocks, struts, and control arms vary by drivetrain, cab configuration, and suspension package — a 4WD crew cab rarely shares parts with its 2WD sibling. We match ride height and spring rate to how your vehicle left the factory.

Suspension & Steering buying guide

Struts and shocks: loaded assemblies vs. bare units

A complete strut assembly comes with the spring, mount and bearing already installed and bolts in without a spring compressor — the choice for most DIY jobs and for vehicles over 100,000 miles. Bare struts and shocks cost less and suit trucks with separate coil or leaf springs. Electronic or air-ride dampers are a different part entirely and cost far more.

Control arms, ball joints and links

On most modern vehicles the lower ball joint is pressed into the control arm and the two are sold together; upper arms and sway bar links are simple bolt-in parts. Clunks over bumps, uneven tire wear and wandering steering usually trace back here. Front-drive and four-wheel-drive versions of the same model often use different arms.

Hubs, tie rods and steering

Wheel hub bearings are sold as sealed units with the ABS sensor built in on most vehicles after 2000. Inner and outer tie rods, idler arms and pitman arms cover trucks with recirculating-ball steering; rack-and-pinion units are sold remanufactured for cars and crossovers. Power steering pumps and hoses only apply to vehicles without electric steering.

Suspension & Steering FAQ

Yes, always per axle. A new strut next to a worn one gives uneven damping and handling. Front and rear can be done separately if only one axle is worn.

After struts, control arms, tie rods or ball joints, yes. Shocks and sway bar links alone usually do not change alignment.

Yes, but tell us the lift height and kit brand. Lifted trucks often need extended shocks, sway bar links and brake lines, and some factory parts will not fit.
