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 bushes are designed to help correct and maintain wheel alignment by controlling suspension movement at key mounting points. By reducing unwanted flex and providing more consistent positioning of suspension components, alignment bushes support accurate camber, caster, and toe settings on both cars and 4x4s.

Correct alignment is essential for stable handling, predictable steering response, and even tyre wear.

Why Upgrade Alignment Bushes and Kits?

Factory bushes can soften or degrade over time, allowing suspension components to shift under braking, acceleration, and cornering. This movement can make it difficult to hold alignment settings, leading to uneven tyre wear, steering pull, or inconsistent handling.

Upgrading to durable alignment bushes helps stabilise suspension geometry and supports long-term alignment accuracy. This is especially beneficial after suspension upgrades, lift kits, or when vehicles are driven under load or in rough conditions.

Alignment Bush Range

The alignment bush range includes bushes and kits designed to support alignment correction and stability.

Alignment bushes: Alignment bushes are engineered to reduce unwanted movement in suspension mounting points, helping hold alignment angles more consistently. They support improved steering control and reduced tyre wear by keeping suspension geometry stable.

Alignment bush kits: Alignment bush kits provide a complete solution for replacing multiple bushes associated with alignment-critical suspension points. Replacing bushes as a set helps ensure consistent suspension behaviour and improved alignment accuracy.

Both options are designed for correct fitment and long-term durability.

Key Benefits of Alignment Bushes and Kits

Improved alignment stability and accuracy

Reduced uneven and premature tyre wear

Improved steering response and handling consistency

Reduced suspension movement under load

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining stable suspension geometry helps ensure alignment settings remain correct over time.

Who Are Alignment Bushes and Kits For?

Alignment bushes and kits are well suited to:

Cars and 4x4s with alignment issues or tyre wear

Vehicles with worn or softened suspension bushes

Vehicles fitted with suspension lifts or upgrades

Owners seeking improved handling and alignment control

Workshops and home mechanics performing suspension and alignment work

Replacing worn alignment bushes helps restore predictable vehicle behaviour.
