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

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.
