Shocks, struts, bushings, and steering components — inspected as a system.
Worn suspension and steering parts cause pulling, clunking, and uneven tire wear. We inspect shocks, struts, bushings, ball joints, and tie rods before recommending replacement.
Serving Lakeland and Polk County from 1620 George Jenkins Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815. Mac's Auto Repair and Towing provides suspension & steering repair with ASE-certified technicians, clear written estimates, and 24 Months / 24,000 Miles on qualifying repairs.
Lakeland potholes, parking blocks, and stop-and-go traffic punish suspension and steering components. At our George Jenkins Blvd shop, we inspect the full system — not just the part making noise today.
From struts and control arms to ball joints and sway bar links, we explain what failed, why it matters for safety, and quote options before major work begins. Alignment is checked when suspension geometry changes.
Practical info for Polk County drivers: when to call, what happens during suspension & steering repair, and how Mac's handles diagnosis before parts.
Call before driving if steering feels loose, the vehicle pulls severely, or you hear loud clunks that suggest a broken component.
Typical timeline
Many suspension jobs are same-day when parts are on hand. Some components require ordering — we quote lead time before you approve.

You approve work in writing before major parts or labor begin.
Repair & verify
Suspension work is performed in-house. Alignment is checked when geometry changes.
Clunking over bumps, pulling while driving, uneven tire wear, excessive bounce, or steering wheel shake after a pothole or curb hit are common signs. We inspect before recommending parts.
