Report what changed after the impact
Tell us if a wheel appears displaced, the steering wheel sits differently, or the vehicle developed pulling, rubbing or unusual noises after a collision. These observations help direct assessment. They do not establish which component is damaged or whether the vehicle is suitable to drive.
A hit to a wheel, curb or corner of the body can involve connected areas that are not visible from outside. Share the impact details and any warning messages. If handling feels unstable or a tire is rubbing, arrange transport rather than testing the vehicle on the road.
Understand how specialty work is handled
Fleury’s coordinates collision-related steering and suspension specialty repairs with trusted providers; this work is not performed in house. We discuss the concern alongside the body repair and explain the proposed coordination when outside assessment or repairs are needed within the collision repair plan.
Structural position and wheel alignment are related but different questions. Correcting a wheel angle alone does not establish that a damaged body structure or component has been addressed. The repair scope needs to account for the findings rather than treating every post-impact handling concern as routine alignment.
Keep the scope tied to the collision
Ask which findings are connected to the impact, which provider work is proposed and how that work fits with panel or structural repairs. Existing wear or unrelated mechanical issues may require a separate decision. The estimate should make the intended accident-related repairs understandable before work is authorized.
This coordinated service concerns collision-damaged components, rather than general mechanical maintenance or a routine suspension service. Contact either shop with the vehicle details and a description of the impact. We can discuss the assessment and transport needs without asking you to diagnose the problem yourself.
QUESTIONS ABOUT
STEERING AND SUSPENSION.
Is steering and suspension work done in house?
No. Fleury’s coordinates collision-damaged steering and suspension specialty repairs with trusted providers through either shop.
Should I drive in if the vehicle pulls after a collision?
A change in handling needs assessment. If the vehicle feels unstable, a wheel is displaced or a tire rubs, arrange transport and discuss the symptoms with the shop.
