Smooth, Safe & Steady Driving
At Gladstone Fleet Maintenance, we know many parts work together to ensure your car’s suspension is doing its job. Struts (or shock absorbers) and springs are the main parts; however, it’s important that other parts, including ball joints, tie rod ends and suspension bushes, are in perfect condition. While your suspension system is generally reliable, normal wear and tear, as well as driving over potholes and making sharp turns, can accelerate its deterioration.
For peace of mind, even if you have a small concern, don’t leave your suspension unchecked for an extended period of time.
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to get them replaced:
Tyres show evidence of unusual tread wear
Shock absorbers are leaking fluid
Vehicle doesn’t handle properly around corners
Vehicle dips forward when braking
Call us on (07) 4972 9129 to book your suspension check now.
Stay Steady on Every Road
A smooth, steady ride starts with a well-maintained steering and suspension system. These components are key to how your vehicle handles, absorbs bumps and keeps you safe on the road. Over time, general wear or harsh driving conditions can affect performance, making your car feel unstable or rough to drive.
Our qualified mechanics check every part of your steering and suspension to make sure it’s operating as it should. From shock absorber replacements to wheel alignment and suspension bush repairs, we’ll help restore your vehicle’s comfort and control. Get in touch today to arrange your next service or inspection.
FAQ
How often should my suspension be checked?
It’s recommended to have your suspension inspected every 12 months or 20,000 kilometres. Regular checks can prevent uneven tyre wear, poor handling and early component failure. If your car feels unstable or bounces excessively, book a professional inspection as soon as possible.
What are the signs of worn shock absorbers?
Worn shock absorbers can cause your car to bounce, lean heavily in corners or dip forward when braking. You may also notice fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear. Replacing them improves ride comfort, handling and overall safety.
What causes uneven tyre wear?
Uneven tyre wear usually results from worn suspension parts, poor alignment or unbalanced tyres. It can lead to vibrations and reduced grip on the road. Regular servicing helps identify these issues early, ensuring smoother handling and longer tyre life.
