suspension
Supension
Price: From £21 for an inspection. Repairs quoted individually
Duration: Inspection up to 30 minutes. Repairs up to 3 hours
Your suspension keeps the tyres in contact with the road and soaks up bumps and potholes. When it wears, you’ll notice a rougher ride, but it also affects your braking, handling and tyre wear. We’ll find what’s worn and fix just that.
Main causes of wear | Potholes, speed bumps and general mileage |
Common parts we replace | Springs, shock absorbers, bushes, ball joints and drop links |
MOT | Worn or broken suspension parts are a common MOT fail |
Alignment | Recommended after most suspension work |
Signs of a suspension problem
Knocking or clunking over bumps.
A bouncy or floaty ride, especially after a dip in the road.
The car pulling to one side.
Uneven tyre wear.
One corner sitting lower than the others.
What we can do
Suspension inspection: A full check with the car up on the ramp.
Shock absorbers: Recommended to be replaced in pairs for even handling.
Coil springs: Broken or sagging springs replaced. Also recommended to be replaced in pairs.
Bushes, ball joints & links: Worn parts swapped out to stop knocks and play.
Wheel alignment: Set up after repairs so your tyres wear evenly.
