How Jay handles it
Suspension is the system people ignore the longest and feel the most. Worn shocks don't just ride badly — they change how long the car takes to stop and how much grip it has in the rain, which matters on wet Texas highway.
Most of it is bolt-on work that Jay can do on the ground with proper stands. He'll show you which joint has play and which one is fine, so you're not replacing a whole front end when one link is bad.
What’s covered

Straight answers
Suspension & Shocks questions people actually ask
What does clunking over bumps usually mean?
Most often a sway bar link, a strut mount or a worn ball joint. They sound alike but cost very differently, which is why it's worth having someone put hands on it before ordering parts.
Can you replace struts in a driveway?
Yes. Complete quick-strut assemblies are straightforward driveway work. If a spring has to be compressed, Jay brings the tooling for it.
How do I know if my shocks are worn out?
Push down hard on one corner of the car and let go. If it bounces more than once, that shock is done. Uneven cupped tire wear is the other giveaway.
