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.

Alignment Parts for Vehicle

Alignment parts are essential for maintaining correct suspension geometry and ensuring your vehicle tracks straight, handles predictably, and wears tyres evenly. On cars and 4WDs, alignment can shift over time due to suspension wear, impacts, added load, or suspension modifications such as lift kits.

Using quality alignment parts helps restore factory settings or fine-tune alignment to suit your vehicle setup and driving conditions.

Why Upgrade Alignment Parts?

Even small alignment changes can lead to uneven tyre wear, steering pull, vague handling, and reduced stability. Suspension lifts, larger tyres, and off-road use can also reduce factory adjustment range, making it difficult to return alignment to spec without additional hardware.

Upgrading alignment parts provides the adjustment and correction needed to lock alignment in place and maintain consistent steering response and stability. This is especially important for 4WDs used for touring, towing, or regular off-road driving.

Alignment Parts Range

The alignment parts range includes components designed to correct and maintain wheel alignment and driveline positioning.

Camber bolts: Camber bolts provide adjustable camber correction where factory adjustment is limited. Once set, they help lock camber in place to reduce excessive and premature tyre wear and support stable handling.

Caster wedges: Caster wedges are used on leaf-sprung vehicles to correct caster angle after suspension lifts or ride height changes. Restoring correct caster helps improve straight-line stability, steering return-to-centre, and overall steering control.

Centre bearing alignment: Centre bearing alignment components are used to correct driveline alignment and support proper tailshaft positioning, particularly after suspension or driveline modifications. Maintaining correct centre bearing positioning helps reduce vibration and supports smooth power delivery.

Together, these components help keep suspension and driveline alignment accurate and consistent.

Key Benefits of Quality Alignment Parts

Improved wheel alignment accuracy

Reduced uneven and premature tyre wear

Enhanced steering stability and response

Restored alignment settings after suspension modification

Reduced driveline vibration through correct bearing alignment

Correct alignment is essential for both safety and vehicle performance.

Who Are Alignment Parts For?

Alignment parts are well suited to:

Cars and 4WDs experiencing tyre wear or steering pull

Vehicles fitted with suspension lifts or larger tyres

Leaf-sprung 4WDs requiring caster correction

Owners addressing driveline vibration after modification

Workshops and home mechanics performing alignment work

Correctly set alignment improves handling and extends tyre life.
