The hardware

Rides right.
Steers straight.

Suspension parts work as one unit. Leave one worn part alone and it speeds up the wear on everything around it, so we inspect the whole front end and fix what needs it. Cars, trucks, minivans and SUVs, stock or lifted.

Signs it's time

Clunk, wander
or bounce.

01 · In the steering

Wander, shake, off-center

A steering wheel that sits off-center, wanders on the highway or feels loose points at the tie rods and ball joints. Worn steering parts knock the alignment out too, so we fix the part first and handle the alignment after.

Off-center wheelWanderShaky or stiff steering
02 · In the ride

Bounce, lean, clunk

Worn shocks and struts let the truck bounce after every dip and lean hard in the corners. A clunk over bumps is often a sway bar link or a bushing. Uneven tire wear is the receipt for all of it.

Hit a pothole and something feels off? Bring it in. The inspection takes about 30 minutes and we quote the repair before we touch it. Start a quote or call Tyler / Longview.

The install standard

Inspect first.
Fix it once.

01

Inspection first

About 30 minutes. We check the whole front end and the shocks or struts, show you what is worn, and quote it before any work starts.

02

Job times up front

A sway bar link takes about 30 minutes. Tie rods take about an hour. Ball joints, shocks or struts take about two hours.

03

Fixed in the right order

If it can't all be done at once, we tell you what is urgent and what can wait, and work through it a little at a time. Four financing and lease-to-own partners if you would rather do it all now.

04

Alignment handled

Tie rods, ball joints, control arms and struts all change the angles your tires sit at. We handle the alignment, so you don't have to arrange it.

    I bought a truck that ended up having issues with the multiple lift kits that were on it apparently 🙄!! Struts and shocks were bad, control arm issues, ball joints and some bushings all needed replacing as well as the A arm that was darn near rubbing on my shocks! Wheels up front told me about their financing options my wife came up (cuz my credit isn’t great) we got approved and I had my truck on the road in a day and a half! Would have been less but we weren’t in a hurry! He didn’t just try to rush me into a sale he thoroughly explained the payments and gave me advice on how I should pay! They were absolutely awesome! Let me tell ya i absolutely hate going to shops because all they ever seem to want is to gouge you for your money! His shop is totally different and if you can’t do all that’s needed at once he will work with you on doing things a little at a time! Thanks Wheels Up Front! You will definitely have my business and reference for future tire, wheels, suspension and whatever else!!!

    After getting my truck back from major engine work I got recommended to wheels up front for my front end and Tony helped me out. He was able to look at my truck super fast and he gave me a great quote. I look forward to using him and his guys in the future! Highly recommend!! Thank you Sir.

Straight answers

Suspension
questions.

How do I know my shocks or struts are worn?
The truck keeps bouncing after a dip, leans hard in corners, dives when you brake, or the tires wear unevenly. Any one of those is worth a 30-minute inspection.
How long does suspension repair take?
The inspection takes about 30 minutes. A sway bar link takes about 30 minutes, tie rods about an hour, and ball joints, shocks or struts about two hours.
What is the difference between shocks and struts?
A shock only controls the bounce. A strut is the shock and the spring in one assembly, and it is part of the structure holding the wheel in place. Most vehicles run one or the other at each corner. We service both.
Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
After tie rods, ball joints, control arms or struts, yes, because those parts set the angles your tires sit at. We handle the alignment, so you don't have to arrange it.
Do you work on lifted trucks?
Yes. Stock, leveled or lifted. We install lift and leveling kits and replace the shocks, struts, control arms and ball joints that wear out on them.
