Complete Suspension and Steering Repair in Carbondale, CO

Suspension and steering aren’t just about smoothing out bumps, they’re about staying safe, stable, and in command behind the wheel. At JW Diesel & Automotive, we know when something feels off, it affects your entire drive. That’s why we bring deep experience, top-tier tools, and a straightforward approach to every repair and results you can feel.

Control. Stability. Safety.
It All Starts Here.

Your suspension and steering system does more than keep your drive smooth. It keeps your tires connected to the road and gives you full control behind the wheel. Over time, even tough-built trucks and fleet vehicles experience wear and tear that can affect how they respond to bumps, turns, or braking. Ignoring those warning signs might seem harmless at first, but the longer you wait, the more costly and dangerous it becomes.

A failing suspension can lead to uneven tire wear, poor alignment, increased braking distance, or even loss of control during sharp turns. Our goal is to catch problems early, fix them right, and keep your vehicle stable, aligned, and road-ready.

Is Your Ride Trying to Tell You Something? Here’s What to Watch For

Your vehicle gives you warning signs, listen to them. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, don’t wait:

Drifting or pulling to one side while driving or braking
Clunking, rattling, or knocking noises over bumps
Vehicle feels bouncy or “floaty” after dips or potholes
Loose, stiff, or noisy steering wheel
Uneven or accelerated tire wear
Swaying during turns or nose-diving when braking
Vibrations at higher speeds or poor road feel

If any of these sound familiar, schedule a visit to JW Diesel & Automotive. Our suspension mechanics will pinpoint the issue with precision and explain what’s going on, clearly, honestly, and without pressure.

Our Full-Service Suspension & Steering Repairs

We offer comprehensive steering and suspension repair services for domestic trucks and fleet vehicles, backed by dealer-level diagnostics and OEM or better parts. Here’s what we cover:

Complete Suspension Inspections

We evaluate every key suspension component, shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, sway bars, and more. Our inspections catch early signs of damage or wear so we can address problems before they lead to major repairs.

Shock & Strut Replacement

Worn shocks and struts compromise your handling, braking, and overall comfort. We install high-quality replacements that restore stability, reduce bounce, and help maintain safe, even tire contact with the road.

Steering System Repair

From power steering pumps to racks, tie rods, and fluid lines, we handle complete steering repair to restore smooth, precise control. Whether it’s stiffness, noise, or uneven response, we’ll get your steering system dialed in.

Control Arm & Bushing Replacement

Cracked bushings or failing control arms can cause vibration, alignment problems, and clunking noises. We replace these components with parts built for durability and long-term performance.

Sway Bar & Link Service

Sway bars reduce body roll in turns. If your vehicle feels unstable while cornering, we inspect and repair sway bar links to bring back control and balance.

Ball Joint Repair

Ball joints are critical for connecting your control arms to the steering knuckles. We replace worn joints to eliminate excess play, restore accurate handling, and prevent steering slop.
