Steering and suspension repair for commercial trucks, Colorado
Springs, steering, and alignment for medium-duty trucks and trailers. A truck that tracks straight is safer and easier on tires.
Truck suspension repair in Colorado is about more than a smooth ride. Worn steering and suspension parts make a truck wander, eat tires, and fail the steering and suspension checks on a DOT inspection. If the truck darts when you hit a bump or the steering has play in it, those parts are telling you something.
We find the worn component and replace it, and we make sure the truck tracks straight when it leaves.
What we work on
Steering, springs, and ride control for medium-duty trucks and trailers.
Leaf springs and U-bolts
Cracked leaves and broken center bolts replaced. Ride height set back to spec.
Shocks and air suspension
Worn shocks and leaking air bags that let the truck wallow and bottom out.
Kingpins and bushings
Play in the kingpins shows up as wander and uneven tire wear. We measure it and rebuild it.
Tie rods, drag links, and steering box
The linkage that turns the wheel. Slop here is a safety item and an inspection item.
Wheel bearings and seals
Repacked or replaced, with leaking seals handled before they ruin a hub.
Alignment
Toe and angles set so the truck tracks straight and the new tires last.
DOT pass or fail, and uptime
Steering and suspension are safety systems, and inspectors treat them that way. Loose steering, cracked springs, and worn kingpins are out-of-service items.
They also destroy tires, which is its own cost. Fixing the front end pays for itself in rubber.
One stop, not two
We run the DOT inspection and fix what it flags in the same shop. A steering & suspension problem we find does not send you to a second vendor. We handle it and you leave road-legal.

Steering & Suspension FAQ
My truck wanders and wears the front tires. What causes that?
Usually worn kingpins, tie rod ends, or an alignment that is out. We check the whole front end and fix the cause so the next set of tires lasts.
Do you do alignments on medium-duty trucks?
Yes. We set toe and the steering angles so the truck tracks straight and tires wear evenly.
Are worn steering parts a DOT out-of-service item?
They can be. Excess play in the steering and broken suspension parts are inspected closely and can take a truck out of service. We catch them before the inspector does.
Need steering & suspension done right?
Book a DOT inspection or call the shop. We inspect and repair under one roof.
