Whether your diesel pickup is a Dodge, Chevrolet, or Ford, it’s undoubtedly a well-made, heavy-duty machine. However, when an issue does arise, trust Melvin's Auto & Truck Repair in St Augustine to keep you on the road.

Given the size of diesel trucks and the nature of the work they do, one problem tends to plague them more than anything else; steering and suspension issues. Over time, heavy loads, heavy components, and extended use begin to take their toll on steering and suspension parts. Bushings wear out, shocks go bad, springs begin to weaken, and joints become worn. Bad components negatively affect everything they are connected to as well; a failing ball joint will ruin a wheel bearing, or a bad steering bushing will ruin the components attached to it, for example.

By keeping your suspension and steering maintained, you are not only keeping your truck in shape but preventing further issues from developing. Upgrades are also something to consider, especially if a part needs replacing anyway. Installing components better suited to your needs is a great way to get the most out of your truck, and slow down wear and tear.

Despite the obvious safety concerns, suspension and steering issues keep your truck from performing as well as it should on the job. Ride quality is certainly affected, but so is towing ability, stopping ability, and handling ability. Keep your steering and suspension in shape, ensuring a smooth ride and a truck that works.

If your truck requires any steering or suspension attention, and for any of your other diesel truck repair and maintenance needs, our expert technicians have you covered. For the best truck service repair shop in St Augustine, call or stop by Melvin's Auto & Truck Repair today
