Suspension and Steering Repairs in Bundaberg, QLD
What is included
What Is Included in Our Suspension and Steering Repairs
- The vehicle goes on the hoist and is lifted, so the wheels hang and the suspension drops fully.
- Each shock absorber is checked for oil leaks, bent rods and a collapsed or noisy top mount.
- Coil springs and leaf springs are checked for cracks, broken leaves, sag and worn seats.
- Rubber bushes in the control arms and sway bar links are levered by hand to find splits and play.
- Ball joints, tie rod ends and the steering rack are checked for play and torn boots before any part is ordered.
- Worn parts are taken out and replaced in axle pairs so both sides ride the same.
- Ride height is measured before and after, and the vehicle is bounced to check for noise.
- A wheel alignment is recommended after the new parts are in, because angles move when springs change.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Suspension and Steering Repairs?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every suspension and steering repairs job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your suspension and steering repairs is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local automotive mechanics, not a call centre
An automotive mechanic answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Why the load decides which shock you fit
What it carries and tows
Tell us what you put on the back, what you tow, and where you drive. A ute that goes empty all week needs a different setup than one carrying a canopy and a caravan. Tell us if it bangs over bumps, leans in corners, or sits low at the back.
Findings and options in writing
We write down what is worn, what is leaking, and what each choice would change about the ride. Repairing what is there is one option. Changing to a firmer shock, a stronger spring or a different height is another. We explain both before you decide.
Fitting day and a test drive
The old parts come off, the new ones go on, and we torque everything with the vehicle's weight on the suspension. We take it for a drive to listen for noises. At handover we tell you what has changed in the ride and what to watch.
