Steering and joint inspection
Check for looseness, damage and wear in the steering linkage and relevant joints. A pulling complaint should not automatically be treated as an alignment-only problem.

Diagnosis & repair

Worn-component repair
Identify the affected steering or suspension components and discuss the repair needed for the observed wear or damage.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does a pulling vehicle just need an alignment?
Not necessarily. Tire condition, tire pressure, braking issues and worn steering or suspension components may be involved. The cause should be checked before deciding on a repair.
What information helps diagnose a clunk?
Note whether it happens over bumps, when turning, during braking or when shifting between forward and reverse. Those differences help narrow the inspection.
Should I replace shocks just because the ride feels different?
A ride change is a reason for inspection, not proof that shocks are the cause. Tires, mounts, springs and other components can affect how a vehicle feels.
Can I bring my vehicle to the Sellersburg shop?
Yes. Call (812) 505-5125 to discuss your symptoms and confirm service at 7720 Highway 311. This website does not reserve an appointment automatically.
