Complete Suspension and Spring Services
Spring Repair Has Been a Core Service Since 1907
Springs support the vehicle, help control its ride, and keep it level under normal loads. A broken, weakened, or sagging spring can make a vehicle harder to handle and place additional stress on other suspension components.
Our technicians inspect the complete suspension before recommending a repair. Depending on what we find, the vehicle may need spring repair, replacement parts, new mounting hardware, or work on another part of the suspension system.
Leaf Springs, Coils, and Struts
McFarland Spring services leaf springs, coil springs, struts, shocks, and related suspension components. We work on light- and heavy-duty systems and can address problems caused by age, corrosion, damaged parts, heavy use, and Maine road conditions.
U-Bolts and Related Suspension Parts
U-bolts help secure the axle and leaf spring assembly. We also inspect and service bushings, shackles, spring pins, hangers, and other mounting hardware when needed.
Common Suspension Problems
- Broken or sagging springs
- A vehicle that leans to one side
- Excessive bouncing or swaying
- Knocking or squeaking over bumps
- A ride that feels too hard or too soft
- Uneven tire wear
- The front of the vehicle dips while stopping
Because several problems can cause the same symptoms, an inspection is the best way to determine which parts need attention.
Maine roads, winter salt, changing loads, and regular commercial use can all be hard on a suspension system. A worn spring or loose mounting component may also place additional stress on nearby parts. Addressing the problem early can help prevent the vehicle’s ride and handling from getting worse.

DUMMY & SCHEMA
Does a sagging vehicle always need new springs?
No. Sagging can be caused by weakened springs, damaged hardware, unusual loading, or several suspension problems working together.

Yes. We can inspect and replace U-bolts and related hardware as part of a suspension repair.
Will my vehicle need an alignment after suspension repair?
It depends on the repair. We can inspect the alignment and recommend service when needed.
Can a damaged leaf spring be repaired, or must it be replaced?
That depends on the type and extent of the damage. Our technicians inspect the spring and surrounding components before recommending repair or replacement.
Why does my truck lean to one side?
A truck may lean because of a weakened or broken spring, damaged mounting hardware, uneven loading, or another suspension problem.
