Wheels that are in proper alignment help to improve the performance and life of your tires and other parts of your vehicle's suspension system. If your vehicle is pulling to one side or if you notice irregular tire tread wear, then your vehicle’s wheels may have become misaligned.

At Pronto Brake and Muffler we will check the toe, cast and camber of each wheel to make sure it is set to the manufacturer's specifications.

If your ride is bumpy and not as comfortable as it once was, it’s time to have your suspension system checked out. Signs of bad shocks or struts or worn springs include: a bouncy, rough or just plain uncomfortable ride, uneven tire wear, loss of control while making a sudden stop, bottoming out when carrying extra passengers, swaying when cornering or changing lanes, or vehicle sagging in the front or the rear.

We can also help you to select the best “heavy duty” or performance shocks or struts if you are looking to increase the towing or carrying capacity of your vehicle. Bring your vehicle in to Pronto Brake and Muffler and have your suspension system checked today. Our technicians have the knowledge and experience to help you select the best equipment to give you the ride that you want and the safety that you need.

Constant-Velocity (CV) joints are attached to the each end of a vehicle’s drive axel and connect the axel to the wheel. CV joints have protective covers called CV boots whose purpose is to keep lubricants in and contaminants out. Cracks or tears in the CV boot can cause serious damage to the CV joint.

Signs of a worn or damaged CV joint include, clicking or popping sounds during turning, clunking during acceleration, front-end vibrations and brake fluid leaks.

If you notice any of these symptoms, your vehicles CV joints may need to be replaced.

The power steering system uses a power steering pump and power steering fluid to create a hydraulic power that helps the driver steer their vehicle with very little effort.
