Truck Suspension Repair in Vinita, OK

Your suspension is an incredibly important part of your heavy-duty vehicle. Not only does it allow you to drive far distances in comfort, but it keeps your cargo elevated as well. Although heavy-duty suspension systems are quite tough, they still need repair and maintenance on a routine basis. Over time, shocks wear out, and bushings start to crumble. Not to mention airbags can see dry rot, and leaf spring hangers may crack. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, you can rest assured knowing we’ve got your back here at GKT Truck Repair. Any suspension, any time.

Symptoms of a Bad Suspension

Rough Ride

If your heavy-duty truck is riding really rough, chances are you need to replace your old shock absorbers. Shock absorbers use fluid to absorb road vibrations, but over time that fluid can leak out of your shock’s housing. When this happens, your shocks cannot absorb road vibrations, hence the rough ride. Fortunately for those who aren’t too keen on replacing their shocks altogether, we here at GKT Truck Repair may also repair them if the damage isn’t too far gone. Call us today to book an appointment.

Squatting or Sagging

Is your heavy-duty truck squatting or sagging while under a heavy load? If so, you may need to get your suspension serviced. If you have a pure leaf spring-based setup, this could mean your leaf springs are worn out and need to be replaced. If you’re running an air-based setup, it may signal that you’re losing air pressure. Lose air pressure can often be blamed on leaking valves, airlines, and airbags themselves.
