Stability, Control & Comfort
Suspension repairs focus on restoring the stability, control and comfort of your vehicle. The system includes shocks, struts, springs, sway bars and various bushings and joints, all of which work together to absorb road impact and maintain contact between your tyres and the road.
During a repair or service, our mechanics inspect these components for signs of wear like leaking shocks, sagging springs, damaged control arms or cracked rubber bushings. Repairs may involve replacing worn shocks or struts, aligning the wheels or addressing issues with ball joints or sway bar links.
Ignoring suspension problems can result in poor handling, increased braking distance, uneven tyre wear and unnecessary strain on other parts of the vehicle. For both safety and ride quality, it’s essential to address suspension issues as soon as they appear. Reach out to AWS Mechanical today.
What are the signs of suspension problems?
Common symptoms include a rough or bouncy ride, excessive body roll when cornering, nose-diving during braking or a noticeable tilt to one side. You might also hear clunking or rattling sounds over bumps. Uneven tyre wear can also indicate suspension issues. If your car feels harder to control or doesn’t drive as smoothly, it’s worth having the suspension inspected.
How long do shocks and struts last?
Shocks and struts typically last between 70,000 and 100,000 kilometres, but this can vary depending on driving conditions and vehicle type. Regular off-road driving or carrying heavy loads can shorten their lifespan. It's important to have them checked if you notice performance changes, as worn shocks can affect braking and stability.
What happens if I don’t fix my suspension?
Ignoring suspension issues can lead to a number of safety and performance problems. Your car may not handle properly, leading to poor steering response or increased braking distance. You’ll also likely experience faster tyre wear, which can become costly. Additionally, suspension damage can put stress on other components, resulting in further repairs down the line.
