Difficulty in handling your car, experiencing a rough or bumpy ride, noticing your car drifting or pulling to one side, a lowered stance or nose dives, and the presence of damaged or oily shock absorbers are indicators that your suspension system may be in need of attention.

If you observe any of these signs, it's advisable to have your suspension checked by a qualified mechanic for a thorough assessment and necessary repairs.

What Is Included In A Suspension Health Check?

The suspension health check we offer is a comprehensive inspection covers all the major components of your vehicle's suspension system.

Our skilled technicians carefully examine various elements, including springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, bushings, sway bars, ball joints, tie rods, and alignment components.

How Long Does The Suspension Health Check Take?

The suspension health check we provide is a prompt "while you wait" service, typically taking up to an hour.

The duration may vary based on whether any faults are identified during the inspection of your vehicle.

This efficient and timely check allows you to have a clear understanding of your suspension system's condition and take any necessary actions promptly.

Your suspension works hard on every journey and inevitably its components suffer gradual wear and occasional damage.

If one component begins to degrade, it transfers stresses onto other linked components and for that reason, good maintenance greatly reduces your long-term running costs.

What Does My Car’s Suspension Do?

Your suspension plays a vital role in steadying your vehicle, smoothing bumps as you drive and making it easier to control

The suspension maximises the friction between the tyres and the road surface, to provide stability and ensure easy handling and grip.

What Are The Common Symptoms Of Suspension Faults?

Signs that your suspension system may need attention include difficulty handling your car, experiencing a rough or bumpy ride, drifting or pulling to one side, a lower stance, or nose diving when braking.

If you notice any damage or oil leakage from the shock absorbers, it's advisable to have your suspension inspected promptly

Unusual noises such as clanking, knocking, growling, or squeaks may indicate various suspension issues, while steering problems like a pull to one side, loose or off-center steering, and vibrations in the steering column should be checked out.

Additional symptoms include a bouncy rolling motion when driving, a nosedive when braking, or fluid leaks under the car if you have fluid in your shocks.

Addressing these signs promptly is crucial to maintaining optimal driving performance and safety.

Can I Drive With Faulty Suspension?

Driving with faulty suspension can be unsafe and is not recommended.

It can lead to difficulties in handling your vehicle, a rough and uncomfortable ride, pulling to one side, or even a lower and unstable stance

Continuing to drive in this condition may pose a risk to your safety and the safety of others on the road.

It's crucial to address suspension issues promptly by having your vehicle inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic.

What Does Car Suspension Repair Cost?
