CV Joints and Suspensions

Improved Ride and Handling
Michigan weather plays havoc on our roads, and in turn, havoc on your vehicle’s ride and handling. CV joints and suspensions are designed to take the brunt of the abuse the road throws at us, but these wear out over time, reducing your vehicle’s handling capabilities and making your ride choppier. Bushey Automotive has the parts and experienced technicians needed to service CV joints and suspensions in nearly any vehicle.

CV Joints
In front-wheel drive vehicles, CV joints connect the transaxle to the wheels, allowing it to transfer the engine’s power to the drive wheels at a constant speed. They also factor into the up and down motion of the suspension and cornering.
Signs of Trouble
- Clicking or popping noise when turning
- Steady knocking sound at low speeds
- Vibration in the steering wheel and floorboard at certain speeds
Suspensions
By absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from the point of contact, suspension systems provide a smooth ride over rough roads, ensure the tires remain glued to the road, and minimize body roll.
