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.

Strut bar bushes play an important role in controlling suspension movement and maintaining steering stability, particularly on vehicles with strut-based front suspension. These bushes support the strut rod or strut bar, helping manage braking forces and keeping suspension geometry consistent under load.

When strut bar bushes wear, steering feel and suspension stability can be affected, especially during braking and cornering.

Why Replace Strut Bar Bushes and Kits?

Strut bar bushes are exposed to constant load changes, road impact, and braking forces. Over time, worn or compressed bushes can allow excess movement in the suspension arm or strut rod, leading to vague handling, steering wander, clunking noises, and reduced alignment consistency.

Replacing strut bar bushes helps restore suspension stability and improve steering response. Upgrading to a complete kit is also an efficient way to replace all related bushes together, ensuring consistent results and long-term durability.

Strut Bar Bush Range

The strut bar bush range includes individual replacement bushes and complete kits designed to restore suspension control.

Strut bar bushes: Strut bar bushes replace worn factory bushes to reduce unwanted movement and support stable suspension geometry. They help improve steering response and reduce vibration transfer through the chassis.

Strut bar bush kits: Strut bar bush kits provide a complete solution for refreshing multiple strut bar mounting bushes at once. Replacing bushes as a set helps restore balanced suspension performance and long-term reliability.

Both options are engineered for correct fitment and durable performance.

Key Benefits of Strut Bar Bushes and Kits

Improved steering stability and response

Reduced suspension play and unwanted movement

Improved alignment consistency under braking

Reduced clunking noise and vibration

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining strut bar bushes helps keep suspension behaviour predictable and stable.

Who Are Strut Bar Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Vehicles with vague steering or suspension noise

Cars and 4x4s with worn front suspension bushes

Vehicles experiencing instability under braking

Owners refreshing suspension components during maintenance or upgrades

Replacing worn bushes helps restore factory-style suspension control and handling feel.
