Suspension Repair

SprintersBarn > Services > Suspension Repair

Noticing strange noises from your van? Does it feel like it’s not handled as smoothly as before? Maybe you’re picking up on some vibration or a hum that wasn’t there last week? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back. At Sprinter’s Barn, we understand how frustrating these little things can be, and we’re here to help. Our suspension diagnostics are free when you decide to do the repair with us. Let’s figure it out together before a small issue turns into a big one.

How to Spot Suspension Issues on Your Own

You don’t have to be a mechanic to notice when something’s off. Here are a few things to pay attention to:

Strange noises:
- If you hear a clunking sound at low speeds, especially over bumps or speed bumps, it’s often due to stabilizer links or bushings wearing out.
- Squeaks or whistles might point to something with the driveshaft, but no need to worry—we can handle that too.
- A noise when you turn the wheel while parked? That’s usually a strut mount acting up.
Trouble with handling:
- Does the steering feel less responsive or stiffer than usual? Maybe the van pulls to one side while driving? That could be a sign of a tie rod or alignment issue.
- Feeling a vibration or hum at higher speeds? It might be time to balance the wheels.
Uneven tire wear:
- Take a quick look at your tires. Are they worn down more on the inside or outside edges? Or is the tread showing a feathered pattern? If so, there’s a good chance your suspension or alignment needs attention.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t wait. We’re here to catch problems early and help you avoid bigger expenses down the road.
