Drive Straight, Stop the Bounce
Modern suspension setups are designed to keep your tyres firmly planted and your steering tight—but worn or damaged parts change how your car behaves. If your ride feels bouncy, dips when braking, or makes odd noises on uneven roads, we’ll inspect the full system and explain what needs fixing.
We assess alignment, inspect suspension geometry and check for looseness, cracks or fluid leaks in your components. Repairs may involve replacing struts, sway bar links, control arms or bushes—whatever it takes to get you driving straight and smooth again. Once complete, we’ll test drive the car to confirm the problem’s been properly resolved.
What are signs of suspension problems in a car?
Common signs include a bouncy ride, knocking noises, uneven tyre wear, the car leaning when turning or dipping during braking. You might also notice poor handling or steering that feels loose. These symptoms often point to worn shocks, bushings or ball joints and should be inspected by a qualified mechanic before the issue worsens.
Can worn suspension affect tyre wear?
Yes, worn suspension components can cause uneven tyre wear. When shocks, struts or bushings fail, your wheels may not stay properly aligned or absorb road impact evenly. This leads to one side of the tyre wearing out faster, reducing lifespan and grip. Addressing suspension problems early can extend tyre life and improve safety.
What causes steering to feel loose or heavy?
Loose steering can result from worn tie rods, ball joints or steering rack issues. Heavy steering might indicate low power steering fluid or a failing pump. Both conditions affect handling and safety. If steering feels different to usual—too light, too stiff or with excessive play—it’s best to have it checked immediately.
