Maintenance is the key to extending the longevity of any vehicle. Over time, parts wear out and need to be replaced so your car, truck, or SUV will continue to run well.

Your suspension and steering systems work together to ensure that you have good control of your vehicle and that your tires remain on the road. If you live in or around Atchison, KS,  Maysville, MO, or Platte City, MO, bring your vehicle to Victory GMC St. Joseph, MO  for suspension service to keep you in control of your vehicle.

When the going gets rough, drivers often question whether their rough ride is related to suspension issues. With your suspension, the noise and the squeaking and bouncing only scratch the surface of your suspension issues. If left uncorrected, this suspension system can lead to some real problems down the road. It can even become dangerous for you to drive because you have less control of the vehicle.

Your car may lean into turns too much, or the back of your vehicle drags the ground when you accelerate. The front end may take a nosedive when you brake. All these things can lead to an increased risk of rollover or an increased stopping time. Our technicians will evaluate your suspension and steering to replace any parts that are worn out or damaged to get you back on the road safely.
