Suspension Servicing
Suspension is a system in cars made up from parts including a shock absorber. The system minimises the feeling of bumps and vibrations from the road when driving to help the car feel smoother. This also allows for easier handling of the vehicle as it absorbs the impact from imperfections on the road, keeps the car stable and the tires in contact with the road properly.
When to check my suspension?
You should have your suspension inspected at least every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. At 50,000 miles some car manufacturers suggest another, more thorough inspection.
If it is feeling bumpier when you are driving, your car is less responsive when you are handling it or your tires are wearing away unevenly, you may have an issue with your suspension. Other indicators of suspension issues include pulling or drifting and changes in steering.
If your suspension has a problem, you may feel your car dipping slightly to one side, this is what leads to your tires wearing away unevenly. Getting your suspension checked regularly can save you money in the long-run as it can stop issues like this from occurring.
We want you to be safe on the road, and if you are struggling to handle your car correctly this can become a hazard. If you are experiencing any of these issues please call us to book in a check.
The Suspension CHeck Process
During a suspension check we will check for any wear and tear damage, leaks, cracks and correct attachment.
The checks on suspension can be done in various ways. We will visually inspect some of the components as the visual of them can sometimes indicate an issue. We may also drive the car to understand what is happening so we can diagnose the issue.
Once we have diagnosed the issue we can carry out our repairs. The repairs may include replacing parts of the suspension such as the springs, replacing the suspension completely or realigning the wheels.
