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.

Shock absorber bushes play a critical role in securing shocks firmly to the vehicle while isolating vibration and allowing controlled suspension movement. These bushes sit at the shock mounting points and help keep the shock correctly aligned so it can deliver consistent damping and ride control.

When shock bushes wear, shocks can develop movement at the mounts, leading to noise, reduced suspension control, and premature wear of both the shock and mounting hardware.

Why Replace Shock Absorber Bushes and Kits?

Shock bushes are exposed to constant load, suspension travel, vibration, and environmental conditions. Over time, factory bushes can soften, crack, or compress, allowing unwanted movement and reducing shock effectiveness. This can result in clunking noises, inconsistent damping, and reduced ride quality.

Replacing shock absorber bushes helps lock the shocks firmly in place, restore correct mounting stability, and improve suspension performance. Upgrading to a complete kit is also an efficient way to refresh multiple mounting points at once for consistent results.

Shock Absorber Bush Range

The shock absorber bush range includes individual bushes and complete kits designed to restore shock mounting stability.

Shock absorber bushes: Shock absorber bushes replace worn factory bushes to secure the shock at its mounting points. They help reduce movement, improve damping consistency, and reduce vibration transfer.

Shock absorber bush kits: Shock absorber bush kits provide a complete solution for replacing multiple shock mounting bushes in one install. Replacing bushes as a set helps restore balanced suspension performance and long-term durability.

Both options are engineered for correct fitment and long service life.

Key Benefits of Shock Absorber Bushes and Kits

Improved shock mounting stability and security

Reduced clunking, vibration, and suspension noise

More consistent shock absorber performance

Improved ride control and handling response

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining shock bushes helps ensure shocks perform as designed and suspension behaviour remains predictable.

Who Are Shock Absorber Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Cars and 4x4s with noisy or loose shock mounts

Vehicles undergoing suspension maintenance or upgrades

Off-road and touring builds exposed to harsh conditions

Owners refreshing worn suspension hardware

Replacing worn shock bushes is a practical way to restore suspension performance without replacing the entire shock assembly.
