What Our Customers Say
FAQs
How do I know if my suspension needs repairing?
Common signs of suspension problems include excessive bouncing, uneven tyre wear, poor handling, unusual noises over bumps, the vehicle pulling to one side or sitting lower on one corner. If your vehicle feels different to drive or you're concerned about its handling, having the suspension inspected can identify worn or damaged components.
How often should I have my suspension checked?
It's a good idea to have your suspension inspected as part of regular vehicle servicing, particularly if you regularly drive on rough roads, carry heavy loads or tow. You should also arrange an inspection if you notice changes in ride quality, steering, handling or tyre wear.
What suspension components commonly wear out?
A vehicle's suspension system includes a range of components that can wear over time, including shock absorbers, struts, springs, bushes, ball joints and control arms. Wear in any of these components can affect ride comfort, handling, steering and tyre wear.
Can worn suspension affect my tyres and wheel alignment?
Yes. Worn or damaged suspension components can change the way your tyres contact the road and may contribute to uneven or premature tyre wear. Suspension repairs or modifications can also affect wheel alignment, which is why a professional wheel alignment may be recommended after suspension work.
