Popular services linked to a Suspension Inspection:

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.

Wheel Bearing Replacement

If you’ve ever wondered how a wheel spins independent to the rest of the car, the wheel bearing is your answer. A wheel bearing allows the non-driven wheels to spin as fast or as slow as the driven wheels like. Allowing the car to go as fast or as slow as it wants thanks to the bearings in the driven wheels, with almost no resistance from the non-driven wheels.

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.

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.
