Suspension Inspection and Lubrication Service in Salem, OR

July 15th, 2025

Your vehicle's suspension system does more than just absorb bumps in the road-it plays a key role in your safety, steering stability, and overall driving comfort. At Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, OR, we offer expert suspension inspections and lubrication services designed to keep your Chevy riding smoothly, no matter how rough the road gets. Whether you're navigating downtown Salem streets or heading out on Oregon's winding backroads, a well-maintained suspension system ensures better handling and minimizes wear on other essential components.

Over time, suspension parts like control arms, bushings, ball joints, and shocks can wear down or dry out, especially in changing Oregon weather conditions. Our team inspects every critical suspension component and applies proper lubrication where needed to reduce friction and extend the life of moving parts. If we notice signs of uneven tire wear, sagging, or excessive bounce, we'll let you know exactly what needs attention and why. It's all part of our commitment to keeping your Chevy safe and road-ready with service you can trust right here in Salem, OR.

What's Included in a Suspension Inspection and Lubrication

At Capitol Chevrolet, suspension service means more than just a quick glance. We perform a full undercarriage inspection to check for worn or damaged components, leaking shocks or struts, loose bolts, or misalignment issues. If your vehicle has greaseable fittings-a common feature in Chevy trucks and older models-we'll apply high-quality chassis grease to reduce metal-on-metal contact and improve responsiveness. This lubrication process can help prevent premature failure of key suspension components, saving you money over time.

We also evaluate steering linkage, tie rods, and sway bar connections as part of our thorough process. If you've noticed increased road noise, pulling to one side, or clunking sounds over bumps, it's time to have your suspension checked. Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger issues down the line, including compromised braking performance or alignment problems. Our certified technicians use the latest diagnostic tools and genuine OEM parts to ensure your vehicle gets the attention it deserves.

Chevrolet drivers across Salem and the greater Oregon area rely on us for suspension care that's both comprehensive and honest. We never upsell what you don't need-just expert service tailored to your driving habits, mileage, and the type of vehicle you drive.
