• The suspension, steering and shock absorbers in your vehicle ensure that the steering, the braking and the handling of your vehicle performs to the standard designed by the manufacturer
  • All of these requirements are crucial to ensure the safe operation of your vehicle by ensuring your tyres remain in full contact with the road at all times

Why do I need these items checked?

  • The shock absorbers for instance are normally either hydraulic or gas filled units that over time lose their efficiency
  • When shock absorbers are not efficient the handling and braking of your vehicle is severely compromised
  • The suspension and steering components ensure your vehicle can turn corners safely
  • While these items are all checked during a WOF inspection often items can fail in between those inspection cycles

How do I know if I have a problem?

  • Often you may feel your steering to be a little unresponsive
  • You may be having trouble cornering
  • Your vehicle may take longer to stop
  • You may hear a strange noise under your vehicle
  • Your vehicle seems to bounce a little too much
  • Your steering may pull to one side
  • Your steering wheel may not be pointing straight ahead
