Putting a Stop to Brake Issues with Your Vehicle

Joel's Tire provides brake repair services to ensure your vehicle continues to operate properly. The safe performance of your brake system is essential, and the difference between a close call or the exchanging of insurance information. We'll assist with everything from brake inspections to hardware replacement.

How Often Should I Replace Brake Parts? During the life of your vehicle, expect to replace the brake pads and rotors at least once. How frequently you need service depends on how often you drive, the environment where you drive, and the quality of the brake parts installed.

How Often Should I Inspect My Brakes? It's recommended that you ask for a brake inspection around the same time as a tire rotation, roughly every six months. Understanding the rate of wear for your brakes will assist you in planning ahead for a brake service.

What Does My Vehicle's Suspension System Do?

A vehicle's suspension system absorbs motion from impacts and imperfections in the road, such as pot holes. Without a fully functioning suspension system, a car is more difficult to control. Issues with the suspension system may cause premature tire wear, increase gas mileage, and have a negative effect on the vehicle's wheel alignment.

Common Signs of Suspension Problems:

The following signs indicate your vehicle may need a suspension repair:

  • Unusual shakes and vibrations
  • Bottoming out over bumps
  • Excessive bouncing and swaying
  • Leaking shocks or struts
  • Nose-dives when braking

If you experience a loss in stability or handling, contact Joel's Tire for a steering and suspension inspection.

Steering & Suspension Repairs in Yakima, WA

Our steering and suspension services include:

  • Ball Joint Replacement: Ball joints are found in virtually all vehicles and work a lot like our hip joint. They connect your wheels to the rest of your suspension system. If you have bad ball joints, you may hear a banging sound, have trouble steering, feel vibrations in your steering wheel, or see uneven tire wear.
  • Tie Rod Replacement: If your car shutters or shakes back and forth while driving, your tie rod might need replacement. When a tie rod is loose, your car might begin pulling to the left or right as it follows cracks and bumps in the pavement.
  • Shocks Replacement: Excessive bouncing is a sign that your shock absorbers are worn out. Shocks are usually found on the rear of a car.
  • Struts Replacement: Excessive bouncing is also a sign that your struts are worn out. Struts are encased by a coil spring that absorbs the shock from coil springs and are often found on the front of your car, although trucks usually have them on the front and back.
  • Suspension Inspection: Our inspection identifies whether your steering and suspension system is causing you trouble or whether it's something else. For example, we'll be able to tell if you need a ball joint replacement or wheel alignment.
  • Sway Bar Link Replacement: Also known as the anti-roll bar, your sway bar connects the front and rear suspension and helps you every time you round a corner by forcing your inside wheel toward the ground to reduce body roll. If you're vehicle handling is off or you hear clunks or squeaks, it might be your sway bar.

The staff at Joel's Tire will complete your steering and suspension repairs with care to restore driving comfort and stability.
