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 experiencing cupping on your tyres its often as a result of a:
- Faulty suspension system
- Poor quality tyres
- Under inflated tyres
- Misaligned wheels
Popular services linked to a Suspension Inspection:
CV Joint Replacement
CV joints are far more prevalent nowadays than in older models, this is due to the popularity of front wheel drive in modern cars. They are an often serviced item due to wear and tear as well as being required to be in tip top shape for warrants of fitness.
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.
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.
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.
