Every bump and pothole can wear down your truck's suspension. Restore that smooth ride with specialized suspension repairs. We ensure each journey is as seamless as the last. Properly aligned and maintained suspension ensures less wear on tires, saving on replacements and leading to safer drives.
The Anatomy of Suspensions
Suspensions are essential components in navigating the balance between vehicle stability and comfort. The leaf spring suspension, known for its simplicity and durability, utilizes layers of metal springs to absorb shock. Conversely, air suspension employs airbags, providing an adjustable and smoother ride.
Understanding the interplay between different suspension types is more than a technical and expense decision. Knowing the differences, benefits, and downsides between both types of suspensions means that you will have a better understanding of which suspension suits your vehicle and needs.
Detecting Leaf Spring Suspension Damage
Leaf springs stand out due to their straightforward maintenance. Often seen as a cost-effective option, they function without the added versatility that air suspensions provide. This means while they might lack the refined comfort air suspensions offer, they remain reliable and get the job done.
Spotting Air Suspension Damage
Air suspensions significantly enhance vehicle support compared to traditional leaf springs. These systems utilize airbags filled with compressed air rather than the conventional leaf springs. Both systems aim to support the weight of your truck, trailer, or cargo. However, the advantages of air suspensions are particularly pronounced, given their adaptability. They can be “aired-up” for greater support under heavy loads or "aired-down" for a softer ride during unloaded conditions. The downside means that there are more potential damage points and costly repairs.

"Got me in and repaired relatively quickly considering the repairs I needed. Not the cheapest, but definitely quicker than I anticipated. Jose, my tech was informative and friendly. Heather at the front desk was very friendly and professional. I didn't catch the names of other people I spoke with, but I would highly recommend 7 sons truck and trailer repair to everyone!"

"Let me tell you about an employee that was a life saver! 4th of July weekend we broke down in Topeka. We had our tires rotated and they must not have tightened the lugnuts. 4 sheered off. We can't find anyone to help us until we contacted this place. Thank you Billy!! He not only came to us, he had the best attitude! He went above and beyond with his customer service! 5 Star guy!"
