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.

Leaf spring bushes play a critical role in controlling leaf spring movement while isolating vibration between the suspension and chassis. These bushes support the mounting points at the front and rear of the leaf spring, helping maintain correct axle location, improve stability under load, and support smooth suspension articulation.

When leaf spring bushes wear, rear suspension control, ride quality, and alignment consistency can be affected.

Why Replace Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits?

Leaf spring suspension systems operate under high load and constant movement, particularly on 4x4s used for towing, touring, and work applications. Over time, factory bushes can soften, crack, or compress, allowing excessive spring movement and contributing to suspension noise, rear-end instability, and uneven tyre wear.

Replacing worn leaf spring bushes helps restore controlled suspension movement, improve ride comfort, and maintain correct axle positioning. This is an essential maintenance upgrade for vehicles that regularly carry load or operate in harsh off-road environments.

Leaf Spring Bush Range

The leaf spring bush range includes individual bushes and complete kits designed to refresh and restore leaf spring mounting points.

Leaf spring bushes: Leaf spring bushes replace worn factory bushes to stabilise leaf spring movement and reduce vibration transfer. They support consistent suspension performance and improved durability under load.

Leaf spring bush kits: Leaf spring bush kits provide a complete solution for replacing multiple leaf spring mounting bushes at once. Replacing bushes as a set helps maintain balanced rear suspension behaviour and long-term reliability.

Both options are engineered for proper fitment and durable performance in demanding conditions.

Key Benefits of Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits

Improved rear suspension stability and axle control

Reduced suspension noise and vibration

Better ride comfort under load

Improved alignment consistency and reduced tyre wear

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining leaf spring bushes is essential for safe and predictable handling on leaf-sprung vehicles.

Who Are Leaf Spring Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Leaf-sprung 4x4s and commercial vehicles

Vehicles used for towing, touring, or carrying constant loads

Off-road builds requiring improved rear suspension control

Owners replacing worn or noisy suspension bushes

Replacing leaf spring bushes helps restore suspension performance where it matters most.
