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 coupling bushes form a vital link between the steering column and steering rack, helping transmit steering input while controlling unwanted movement and vibration. When these bushes wear, steering response can become vague, steering feel can dull, and extra play can develop through the wheel, especially on vehicles driven regularly on rough roads or off-road.

Replacing steering coupling bushes helps restore tighter steering control and more consistent feedback.

Why Replace Steering Coupling Bushes and Kits?

Steering couplings operate under constant load and movement. Over time, worn bushes can allow excessive flex and slack, reducing steering precision and increasing vibration transfer through the steering wheel.

Upgrading steering coupling bushes helps improve steering response, reduce unwanted steering movement, and restore a more direct connection between the steering wheel and rack. This is particularly beneficial for 4WDs running larger tyres, suspension lifts, or vehicles used for touring and off-road driving.

Steering Coupling Bush Range

The steering coupling bush range includes replacement bushes and complete kits designed to restore steering control.

Steering coupling bushes: Steering coupling bushes replace worn factory bushes within the coupling assembly to reduce play and improve steering precision. They help tighten steering feel and improve driver feedback.

Steering coupling bush kits: Steering coupling bush kits provide a complete solution for refreshing coupling components in one installation. Replacing all related bushes together helps restore consistent steering response and long-term reliability.

Both options are engineered for correct fitment and durable performance.

Key Benefits of Steering Coupling Bushes and Kits

Improved steering precision and response

Reduced steering play and slack

Enhanced steering feedback and control

Reduced vibration transfer through the steering wheel

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining steering coupling bushes helps ensure steering input remains predictable and consistent.

Who Are Steering Coupling Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Vehicles with vague steering feel or increased play

4WDs driven off-road or on rough roads

Vehicles running larger tyres or suspension lifts

Owners performing steering system maintenance

Refreshing coupling bushes helps restore confident steering performance.
