If your ride feels rough, pulls to one side, or just doesn’t handle like it used to, it’s time to check your steering and suspension. At Arndt’s Auto Towing, we’ve been helping folks from Benton Harbor to Paw Paw keep their vehicles smooth, safe, and steady on the road since 1998. We’re not just a towing company—we’re full-service auto experts, and steering and suspension is one of our top specialties.

Why Steering & Suspension Service Matters

Your car’s steering and suspension systems work together to give you control and comfort. Worn-out parts can lead to tire wear, alignment problems, or even safety risks. That’s why it’s critical to address issues early—before a minor shake becomes a costly fix or a dangerous breakdown.

Here at Arndt’s, we take care of the full range of steering and suspension repairs:

• Shocks & Struts

• Ball Joints

• Tie Rod Ends

• Rack & Pinion Units

• Idler & Pitman Arms

• Coil Springs & Bushings

• Power Steering Pumps

• Drive Belts

• Wheel Alignments

From bumpy drives to fluid leaks and steering noise, we’ve seen it all and fixed it right the first time.

FAQs About Steering & Suspension Repair

How long does this service take?
Most repairs take a few hours to a day depending on what we’re fixing. We’ll let you know upfront.

Do I need to bring anything?
Just your vehicle and your keys. If you've had past work done, any repair records are helpful but not necessary.

How often should steering and suspension be checked?
We recommend a check-up every 12,000 miles or once a year, especially if you drive on rough roads.

Can I drive with a suspension problem?
Technically yes, but it’s risky. It could get worse fast or lead to bigger issues like steering failure or uneven tire wear.

Do you do wheel alignments too?
Absolutely. Every suspension job we do includes an alignment check and adjustment if needed.
