How a Suspension Inspection works with My Auto Shop:
Our mechanic will raise your car and look underneath for any signs of damage or deterioration. They will then proceed to check for excessive tyre wear, damage to the wheel bearings, springs, shock absorbers or struts. After this they will check the CV joints, and inspect the suspension arms, bars and bushes for signs of damage.
They will then quote up any repairs or replacement parts if required.
When your vehicle is leaning to one side its often as a result of a:
- Stuck strut, spring, or shock absorber
- Bent suspension or twisted chassis
- Tyres are not consistent in size
Popular services linked to a Suspension Inspection:
CV Boot Replacement
CV boots work much the same as boots you wear on your feet; they're designed to keep moisture dirt and grit out of an area where it’s not wanted. The CV joint has a really important job and some important bearing and seals make this happen. The CV boot protects these components to ensure your car works as it should.
Rear Shock Absorber Replacement
Your shock absorber comes in a long round container with a metal rod sticking out of one end. It is this rod that travels up and down through the shock absorber and manages the travel of the suspension.
Power Steering Pump Replacement
Your power steering is your best friend when driving around town. The power steering pump is what generates the fluid pressure that assists your steering inputs. The pump is run off a belt from the drive pulley and due to the constant usage, they are known to suffer from faults.
Sway Bar Replacement
Your sway bar is a pretty important part of your car’s suspension and steering. It helps prevent the body rolling and keeps you planted during cornering. It makes your ride a lot more comfortable and stops you feeling like you’re going to fall out the door when you turn into a street.
