How can you tell if you car's suspension system needs attention?

Until something goes wrong with suspension components, it's a part of a vehicle that most people don't think about - but it's vital in keeping you and other road users safe.

Therefore, if you experience any of the following issues, it's essential that you have a qualified service centre look at it as soon as possible.

• Your car may look like it's tilting to one side or corner when on even ground
• You may notice that one or more of your tyres is wearing unevenly
• You could experience excessive body roll or poor handling when turning corners
• The car may feel overly bouncy or abnormally 'floaty'
• You might notice squeaks or knocking noises when you go over rough surfaces
• You could see leaking fluid coming from a shock absorber

What does a vehicle suspension repair involve?

The suspension system on any vehicle is complex - especially because it's so closely connected to the steering and braking systems. A service or repair will involve testing and inspecting each of the suspension parts - making sure everything is working properly while looking for damage, corrosion and wear and tear.

Generally speaking, a suspension system is made up of struts, shock absorbers, springs, a series of linkages, and suspension bushes that prevent vibration between these suspension components and make sure the parts move freely.

Even if the problem isn't immediately obvious from a visual inspection, if any of these parts are worn or faulty, a 'bounce test' or road test will help an experienced mechanic identify the issue.

With the issue diagnosed, the suspension will be stripped, components replaced, then rebuilt to the highest standard.

A good service centre will also look for further damage that issues with your suspension could have caused. Your repair will be wrapped up with a final road test to assess the car's performance and make sure the braking system and steering system - right through to the steering wheel - are operating safely.

How much does it cost to repair suspension systems in in Gatton?

Suspension setups vary enormously from vehicle to vehicle. Some older cars and commercial vehicles still operate basic but hard-wearing 'leaf spring' systems - where many new SUVs and performance vehicles have electronically controlled shock absorbers that adapt to offer a comfortable ride. 

As there's such a variation in systems, there's never a single fixed-price that you'll be quoted for suspension work. This can often lead people to wonder if they're getting a fair price - but don't panic, Auto Hero will make sure you don't pay any more than you have to.
