Here's why you need more information:
* What specifically failed? Did you fail the visual inspection, a component test, or both?
* What were the specific failures? Were there worn or damaged components, loose parts, fluid leaks, or other issues?
* What type of vehicle do you have? Different makes and models have varying suspension components and designs.
Here are some common suspension components that might need repair:
* Shocks and Struts: These absorb bumps and help maintain control. Worn shocks/struts can lead to bouncy rides, poor handling, and excessive tire wear.
* Springs: These support the weight of the vehicle. Worn or broken springs can cause sagging, uneven ride height, and poor handling.
* Control Arms: These connect the wheels to the chassis. Worn or damaged control arms can cause loose steering, uneven tire wear, and vibrations.
* Ball Joints: These allow the wheels to move up and down and side to side. Worn ball joints can cause clunking noises, loose steering, and uneven tire wear.
* Tie Rod Ends: These connect the steering rack to the wheels. Worn tie rod ends can cause loose steering and uneven tire wear.
* Sway Bar Links: These connect the sway bar to the control arms. Worn sway bar links can cause excessive body roll and poor handling.
* Bushings: These are rubber components that isolate vibrations and allow for movement in the suspension system. Worn bushings can cause squeaking, clunking noises, and poor handling.
To get the right parts for your repair, you need to:
1. Get a proper diagnosis. Have a mechanic inspect your vehicle and determine the exact cause of the failed suspension check.
2. Obtain the correct parts. Once you know the exact issue, you can order the correct parts for your specific vehicle model and year.
Remember: Auto parts are not one-size-fits-all. It's important to get the right parts for your vehicle to ensure a safe and effective repair.
