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 making a clunking noise when you drive over bumps its often as a result of a:
- Worn out strut

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.
Front Shock Absorber Replacement
When you go over a bump, pothole or just a bad bit of road, rather than bouncing around your car, the shock absorbers make sure you stay comfortable. They play a massive role in ensuring you make it around corners and come to a stop. They control the weight transfer of the car and are a critical part of the suspension.
Sway Bar Link Replacement
Your sway bar is what keeps your car from leaning too far when cornering. It does this by connecting your suspension to its opposite side. The sway bar link is what connects the sway bar to the suspension. It’s usually encased in bushes to prevent annoying squeaks and rattles.
Check And Repack Wheel Bearings
Your wheel bearings are what allows your wheels to spin freely and keep your car going straight. They’re an essential part of keeping your car safe and driving as it should.
