- 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
