01 · Truck Suspension

Where We Started in 1849

Leaf springs are the reason Palmer Spring exists, and suspension work is still at the core of what we do. We repair, rebuild, and replace leaf spring packs, air ride components, and full suspension systems for heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and emergency vehicles — including the obsolete and hard-to-find configurations other shops turn away.

02 · Brake Systems

Complete Brake System Service

From air brake systems to hydraulic setups, we service and repair complete brake systems for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and fleet vehicles — drums, hubs, chambers, and everything in between.

03 · Steering & Front-End Repair

Precise Handling, Every Mile

Worn steering components affect handling, tire wear, and safety. We repair and replace steering shafts, spindles, king pins, and front-end components to keep your trucks tracking true.

04 · Ride & Vibration Analysis

Diagnosing the Root Cause

A vibration you can feel is a problem you can't ignore. We diagnose ride and vibration issues at the source — from tire and wheel balance to driveline alignment — so you're not just treating symptoms.

05 · Hunter Computerized Alignments

Built-For-Trucks Precision

Precise alignment extends tire life, improves fuel economy, and keeps your fleet safer on the road. We use Hunter computerized alignment equipment built specifically for heavy-duty trucks and trailers.

06 · Driveline Repair

Power, Delivered

Driveline problems don't fix themselves. We repair and service driveshafts, U-joints, and driveline components to keep power getting where it needs to go.

07 · Custom U-Bolts

Fabricated to Spec

When a standard U-bolt won't do, we fabricate custom U-bolts to your exact specifications — in-house, on our own forming equipment, backed by an extensive inventory of stock sizes ready to go.

08 · Welding & Fabrication

Built to the Same Standard

From structural repairs to custom fabrication, our welding shop handles the heavy-duty work — built to the same standard as everything else we do.
