The suspension affects your car’s handling, stability, and overall ride comfort. It consists of various parts, including springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, bushings, and sway bars.
Suspension upgrades should be carefully chosen to match your vehicle’s specifications and intended use. Professional guidance from our experienced mechanics are valuable when considering suspension upgrades to ensure that the repairs or upgrades are appropriate for your vehicle and driving needs.
Suspension Repairs:
Spring Replacement: Over time, springs can weaken or break, leading to an uneven ride or sagging. Replacing worn-out springs helps restore the vehicle’s height and improve ride quality.
Shock Absorber/Strut Replacement: Shock absorbers and struts dampen the movement of the springs, providing stability and control. When they wear out, you may experience excessive bouncing, poor handling, or a rough ride. Replacement is necessary to maintain optimal suspension performance.
Control Arm and Bushing Replacement: Control arms connect the suspension components to the vehicle’s frame. Over time, the control arm bushings can wear out, causing noise, vibrations, or poor handling. Replacing worn control arms and bushings helps restore stability and responsiveness.
Sway Bar Replacement: Sway bars, also known as stabilizer bars, reduce body roll during cornering. If the sway bar or its bushings become damaged or worn, it can lead to excessive body roll and decreased handling. Replacing these components improves stability.
Suspension Upgrades:
Performance Springs: Upgrading to stiffer or adjustable springs can enhance handling and reduce body roll. Performance springs lower the vehicle’s centre of gravity and improve overall stability during cornering.
Upgraded Shock Absorbers/Struts: High-performance shock absorbers or struts offer improved damping characteristics, allowing for better control and comfort. They can provide a firmer ride and reduce body roll.
Sway Bar Upgrades: Thicker or adjustable sway bars can further minimize body roll and improve cornering ability. They provide increased resistance to sway, enhancing overall stability during aggressive manoeuvres.
Polyurethane Bushings: Replacing rubber bushings with polyurethane counterparts reduces suspension deflection, providing more precise handling and improved responsiveness.
