How AAB Service diagnoses and repairs the issue

A clear, step-by-step process.

Real diagnosis before parts. The team explains findings before any work begins.

  1. 01

    Symptom and road test

    Confirm noise, ride, and steering complaints with a road test before any parts are inspected.

  2. 02

    Full suspension inspection

    Inspect shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links, bushings, and ride-height components.

  3. 03

    Prioritized recommendation

    Group findings into safety-critical, near-term, and watch-list items so you can plan repair logically.

  4. 04

    Repair and alignment

    Replace worn components and align the vehicle after the work is complete because suspension service changes alignment angles.

Questions

Helpful answers before you schedule.

Do I need a full strut replacement or just one?

If only one strut is leaking or failed, AAB Service will tell you. Many shops recommend pairs because struts wear together and replacing only one can affect handling balance, but the team will share findings and let you choose.

How long do shocks and struts last?

Most shocks and struts last 50,000 to 100,000 miles, but San Antonio road conditions, loads, and driving style affect that. A bounce test and visual inspection show their actual condition.

Will new suspension fix my alignment?

Suspension work usually requires a fresh alignment afterward because changing components changes geometry. AAB Service includes alignment in the repair plan when needed.

Do you service air suspension on European vehicles?

Yes, on supported platforms. Mercedes-Benz Airmatic, certain Audi and VW systems, and some BMW and Land Rover air suspension systems can be diagnosed and serviced.
