Suspension Servicing, Repair & Replacement

Your vehicle’s suspension system—comprising shocks, struts, and springs—ensures a smooth ride, optimal handling, and precise control. Worn or damaged suspension components can compromise safety, especially when cornering or braking.

Safety First: Why Suspension Maintenance Matters

A properly functioning suspension keeps your tyres in contact with the road, stabilises your vehicle during maneuvers, and absorbs road shocks. Neglecting suspension repairs can lead to poor handling, increased stopping distances, and uneven tyre wear.

Signs of Suspension Wear

• Rough Ride: Feeling every bump or excessive bouncing indicates worn shocks or struts.

• Drifting or Pulling in Turns: Body roll during cornering can signal weakened suspension components.

• Nose Diving: The front of the vehicle dips forward under hard braking, affecting stopping performance.

• Uneven Tyre Wear: Irregular tread wear often results from uneven suspension load distribution.

• Leaking or Oily Shocks: Visible fluid on shocks or struts means seals are failing and dampers are ineffective.
