SUSPENSION & SHOCK ABSORBERSDamaged suspension components can affect steering, braking and tyre wear. Problems often become more noticeable when driving over bumps or around corners.
Unusual noises may indicate worn suspension components.
Weak shock absorbers can reduce stability and vehicle control.
Suspension problems can affect tyre contact and handling.
Understand which suspension components need inspection, when warning signs become serious and what you can safely observe before booking.
| Service item | What we inspect | When to check | Safe check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01Shock absorbers | Inspect shock absorber condition, visible leakage and damping performance. | During routine servicing or when excessive bouncing begins. | Notice whether the vehicle continues bouncing after crossing bumps. |
| 02Suspension springs | Check spring condition, vehicle ride height and signs of damage. | Whenever the vehicle sits unevenly or makes unusual noises. | On level ground, look for one corner of the vehicle sitting noticeably lower. |
| 03Steering stability | Assess steering response and suspension-related handling concerns. | Immediately if steering feels loose or unstable. | Note whether the vehicle wanders, pulls or feels unstable during normal driving. |
| 04Tyre wear patterns | Inspect uneven tyre wear that may indicate suspension problems. | Monthly and during scheduled servicing. | Look for patchy, uneven or accelerated tyre wear across the tread. |
| 05Suspension noises | Investigate knocking, clunking and rattling over uneven roads. | As soon as new or worsening noises appear. | Note whether the sound occurs over bumps, while turning or when braking. |
| 06Braking behaviour | Assess whether worn suspension is affecting braking stability. | Immediately if the vehicle dives excessively or feels unstable when stopping. | Notice unusual front-end dipping or instability during normal braking. |
Never work beneath a vehicle supported only by a jack. Avoid driving if steering feels unstable, the vehicle pulls suddenly or suspension damage is visible.
