It's all in the details🔧
This truck is now sitting right with front adjustable Bilstein shocks set at a 2.1" lift to level it our and dial the stance.

The best way for us to explain to you would be to think of them like your shoulder or hip joints💪🦵

Although they may seem like a small part, they are a very important part that allows your other steering & suspension parts to move smoothly while keeping everything connected. The ball joint flexes to allow the motion when going over bumps, allows rotation when you turn your steering wheel - all while keeping the wheel securely attached to the vehicle.

Over time the weight and stress from driving can cause them to wear out. What you should be looking out for:
👀 Clunking or knocking noises over bumps
👀 Uneven tire wear
👀 Loose or wandering steering
👀 Vibrations while in motion
👀 In severe cases, the joint can fail and can cause the wheel to fall outward... yes, it's as bad as it sounds

Concerned that yours might be starting to wear? Give us a shout and let's get you in for an inspection📲

Want to increase the lifespan of your vehicles brakes? We highly recommend doing a Brake Service once a year.

Here’s why:

1. Eyes on your vehicle

Your brakes are your most critical active safety component. Early detection of any faults not only saves you money, but keeps your passengers, other drivers, and yourself safe.

2. Ensures even, smooth braking

We make sure that all components are moving freely, not seizing. Our technician cleans and lubricates components to prevent sticking or dragging. This ensures you maintain strong, even stopping power throughout your brake’s lifespan.

3. Helps fight off Canadian winter damage

It’s not just the body of your vehicle that the winter is harsh on, it can also eat away at your brake components. A brake service removes rust buildup to protect against corrosion from salt and moisture.

4. Saves you from premature failure

Having your brakes serviced once a year can help catch small issues while they’re still manageable. Making sure to avoid bigger, more expensive repairs down the road.

Stay ahead of wear, not behind it. Give us a shout to book your brake servicing📲

This is why your technician tells you to have your suspension inspected regularly and to avoid hitting pot holes or major bumps😬

Although spring is amazing for us to enjoy the first bits of warm weather, it can be terrible on our roads. For this client, they unfortunately experienced worst case scenario — their coil spring snapped and fell, which punctured their tire. Thankfully they are okay and were able to safely get off the road🙌

Be sure to have your vehicle inspected, especially if you have hit any unavoidable pot holes or major bumps⚠️

We didn’t know they came out with a new ventilation feature for the rear end… definitely wasn’t factory😅

Unfortunately wouldn’t have fixed this one, we had to replace the rear differential for our client🔧
