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 makes a creaking noise when you turn the steering wheel its often as a result of a:

  • Worn Shock or Strut
  • Dry Jounce Bushing
  • Dry/Damaged Suspension Bushings
  • Worn Ball Joints
  • Damaged Tie Rod Ends
  • Damaged Power Steering Pump/Rack/Belt

Popular services linked to a Suspension Inspection:

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.

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.

Ball Joint Replacement

Your car’s suspension is an integral part of driving, the ball joints are an integral part of your suspension system. They make sure that while your car goes over bumps, it can also turn. They’re an important part of your car and they’re something worth taking good care of.

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.
