Suspension Bushes Replacement

Driving down the road can be a very bumpy and uncomfortable endeavour. Suspension bushes mean that all the rattles, vibrations and bumps that are absorbed by the shock absorbers, don’t annoy you. They are also key in balancing the car and making sure it handles and stops exactly as it should.

Tie Rod End Replacement

When you turn your steering wheel, you like to think your car will go in that direction. The tie rod is a valuable component in making that happen. When you turn the wheel one tie rod pulls the wheel towards it and the other tie rod pushes the other wheel away from it. This is what turns your car. It is important that these are fitted correctly and doing their job to keep you safe on the road.

Power Steering Rack Replacement

The power steering rack is a critical component in the steering of your vehicle. It determines where you aim your front wheels when turning the steering wheel.

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.
