Suspension Components
The suspension system is primarily composed of springs and shock absorbers (or shocks). Your car’s suspension system keeps your wheels safely on the road while helping your car absorb the shock of uneven surfaces. How your car accelerates, brakes, and handles traction issues such as rain, potholes, turns and curves is determined by the condition of your car’s suspension system.

Steering System
The steering system of your car is everything from the steering wheel to the steering shaft, rack and pinion (also known as the gearbox), all the way to the linkage which connects to the wheels themselves. If you are experiencing difficulty handling the steering in your car the experienced technicians at Sonny’s will inspect your system and recommend any services that need to be done to keep your steering in optimum condition.


2 Main Steering Systems:
The Pitman and the Rack and Pinion designs.
Pitman systems have arms with a steering box, and are usually found in older cars and some trucks. In the Pitman System, the steering box has a shaft from the steering wheel that goes in and a lever 'pitman' arm that goes out.
Rack and Pinion Systems are found in most modern cars as it's relatively simple and inexpensive. They don't have the slack associated with Pitman Systems, so they allow a more comfortable drive for users.
