Understand your service
Similar symptoms can come from different areas
Steering, suspension, tires and brakes can all influence how a vehicle feels on the road. A pull or vibration should not be assigned to one component based on the symptom alone. Tell the team whether the change occurs while turning, braking or traveling over uneven pavement so the assessment can account for the circumstances.
Concerns to discuss with our team
- Clunks or new noises over bumps
- A change in steering response or feel
- Pulling or vibration while driving
- Uneven tire wear noticed during routine care
Care for your vehicle
Share recent tire work or road impacts
If the concern began after a curb impact, pothole or tire change, mention that when you call. Previous front-end repairs are also useful context. Our Pasadena shop can discuss your observations and service history; if steering or control feels unsafe, arrange assistance rather than continuing to drive.

Troubleshooting Guide
View AllWhy does my steering feel loose?
Steering or suspension wear can change vehicle control. Arrange an inspection with Spence & Frye GM Specialist; do not continue driving when you cannot steer reliably.
Why do I hear a clunk over bumps?
A suspension joint, mount or loose component may be involved. Note the side and road conditions for Spence & Frye GM Specialist; an inspection is needed before identifying a part.
Why is one front tire wearing faster?
Tire pressure, steering geometry or worn components can contribute. Spence & Frye GM Specialist can examine the front end; a worn tire alone does not tell which repair is needed.
Why does the wheel vibrate at road speed?
Tires, wheels or front-end components may produce vibration. Describe the speed range to Spence & Frye GM Specialist, and stop safely if vibration is sudden, severe or affects control.
Why is my steering suddenly harder?
A steering-assist fault or mechanical issue may increase effort. Pull over safely if control is affected and arrange assistance; Spence & Frye GM Specialist can inspect the system.
