How does car suspension work?

Suspension components keep tyres in firm contact with the road to maximise grip, stability and braking.

How much does it cost to repair suspension?

Costs vary by diagnosis. An inspection will confirm whether bushes, shocks or other parts require replacement.

What are warning signs my suspension needs attention?

Clunks or squeaks over bumps, uneven tyre wear, instability when braking, or the vehicle pulling to one side.

Is driving with damaged suspension recommended?

No. It compromises control and braking. Arrange an inspection as soon as possible.

Common suspension problems we see

Misalignment, worn rubber bushes, tired or leaking shocks, incorrect parts installed and ride-height issues from unsuitable lift setups.

Typical time to complete a suspension repair

Around 1–5 hours depending on the vehicle and scope of work.

Symptoms of poor wheel alignment

Off-centre steering wheel, pulling, vibration and rapid or uneven tyre wear.

Consequences of skipping alignment

Reduced handling precision and faster tyre wear, which increases costs.

When to replace suspension bushes

Replace if cracked, perished or moving excessively. Polyurethane replacement bushes can improve durability.

When does a 4x4 lift kit make sense?

If you need more clearance, load capacity or space for larger tyres. Always select a vehicle-specific, road-legal setup.

Do I need regular alignment and suspension checks?

Yes. Alignment preserves geometry and tyres, and routine checks catch issues early.

How often should I align the wheels?

About annually, or sooner after rough-road use, impacts or suspension changes.

How often to check the power steering system?

Follow the service schedule; periodic inspections around every 20,000 km help prevent pump and rack issues.

Steering and suspension systems work together to control vehicle movement, maintain tyre contact with the road or track, and deliver predictable handling in a 4WD. As vehicles are driven off-road, carry additional load, or accumulate kilometres, wear in steering and suspension components can lead to reduced control, uneven tyre wear, and compromised driving confidence.

Upgrading or refreshing steering and suspension parts helps restore correct geometry, improve vehicle response, and support safe, controlled operation across a wide range of driving conditions.

Why Upgrade Steering & Suspension Parts?

Factory steering and suspension components are designed around standard vehicle weights and general road use. Off-road driving, larger tyres, suspension lifts, and added accessories place additional stress on joints, bushings, and linkages, accelerating wear.

Replacing worn components or upgrading to stronger alternatives helps maintain steering accuracy, suspension control, and overall vehicle stability. This is especially important for 4WDs used for touring, towing, or frequent off-road driving.

Steering & Suspension Parts Range

The steering and suspension range includes components designed to support vehicle control, alignment, and durability.

Suspension parts: Suspension parts support vehicle weight, manage suspension movement, and maintain ride height. These components help control vehicle sway, improve ride quality, and ensure consistent performance under load and during off-road driving.

Steering parts: Steering parts are responsible for translating driver input into controlled wheel movement. Upgraded steering components help maintain precise steering response, reduce play, and support predictable handling on-road and off-road.

Together, these components play a critical role in maintaining safe and confident 4WD handling.
