Suspension & Steering Repairs at Tiger Garage in Princeton, NJ

If your ride has gotten rough, the car drifts on the highway, or you hear a clunk every time you hit a pothole on one of Princeton's less forgiving roads, the suspension is a likely culprit. Worn shocks and struts, bad ball joints, loose tie rod ends, and cracked control arm bushings all affect how your car handles — and how well it stops when you need it to. These aren't problems that get better with time.

At Tiger Garage on Witherspoon Street, we inspect the complete suspension and steering system: shocks, struts, control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links, and the steering rack. We put the car on the lift, look at what's actually worn, and tell you plainly what needs to come off and what's still serviceable. Nothing gets replaced without your go-ahead, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

We work on all makes and models — American, European, and Asian vehicles alike. Whether you've got a high-mileage Mazda, a BMW 3 Series, or a Toyota RAV4 with 120,000 miles on it, the approach is the same: find out what's wrong, explain it clearly, fix what needs fixing. Customers who've been quoted big numbers at dealers or chains have been coming to us for a second opinion for years, and more often than not we find a more straightforward fix at a fairer price.

Suspension work also ties directly into tire wear and wheel alignment. If your tires are wearing unevenly or the steering wheel sits off-center, worn suspension components are frequently the reason. We'll flag that during the inspection and let you know whether an alignment makes sense once the suspension work is done, so you're not putting new parts under a car that's still out of spec.
