Preventative maintenance for suspensions
Suspension inspections, bushing lubrication, shock performance checks and air system diagnostics catch wear while it is still wear. The alternative is a component failure that takes the tires and the alignment with it.
The suspension is also the foundation the geometry sits on: ride height and shock condition have to be right before an alignment reading means anything. That is why we check them first — see the guide to maintaining heavy-duty suspension systems.

FAQ
Common questions
What are common signs of suspension problems in heavy-duty trucks?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, uneven tire wear, poor handling and difficulty steering. These point to worn shock absorbers, misaligned suspension components or a faulty air suspension system. Early detection prevents the larger failure behind them.
How often should a truck’s suspension be inspected?
Suspension inspections belong in the regular preventive maintenance routine, especially for trucks that carry heavy loads or drive long distances. Have the suspension checked every 25,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on road conditions and the truck’s usage.
What are the key maintenance tips for truck suspension systems?
Inspect regularly, monitor air pressure in air suspension systems, lubricate moving components, keep U-bolts tight to specification, and replace worn shocks and bushings. Routine care improves safety, ride comfort and component lifespan.

What customers say
I personally think this is the best most knowledgeable shop great tire guys great mechanics. Very safety conscious! When you leave here all questions are answered and you’ll feel better about your ride. So if your coming through Charlotte stop in and check them out.
Arlen Ledbetter Professional, knowledgeable and reasonable on pricing. I’ve had alignments and balancing done here as well as an oil change. As an owner operator, I find Reed and the staff some of the best around in Charlotte when it comes to maintaining a semi.
Clever Black EagleSpan installed 6 new tires on my RV. They got the tires I wanted quickly, balanced and mounted the tires while I waited. They even installed new valve stems. Friendly people, great prices and speedy service earns them 5 stars. It’s also the only place in the Charlotte area that I know of that does alignments on big rigs.
