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.

Subframe bushes play a critical role in securing the subframe to the vehicle chassis while isolating vibration and maintaining correct alignment. The subframe supports key suspension and drivetrain components, meaning any movement at the subframe mounts can directly affect handling, steering response, and overall vehicle stability.

When subframe bushes wear, vehicles can develop increased vibration, clunking, and changes in alignment under load.

Why Replace Subframe Bushes and Kits?

Subframe bushes are exposed to constant road vibration, load changes, and impacts from rough surfaces. Over time, factory bushes can soften, crack, or compress, allowing the subframe to shift slightly. This movement can lead to inconsistent suspension geometry, steering wander, and increased noise through the cabin.

Replacing subframe bushes helps restore correct subframe positioning, maintain suspension alignment, and reduce unwanted noise and vibration. Using a complete kit is also an efficient way to refresh multiple mounting points at once for consistent performance.

Subframe Bush Range

The subframe bush range includes individual bushes and complete kits designed to support subframe stability and long-term durability.

Subframe bushes: Subframe bushes replace worn factory bushes to reduce subframe movement and improve alignment stability. They help absorb vibration while maintaining correct subframe positioning under load.

Subframe bush kits: Subframe bush kits provide a complete solution for replacing multiple subframe mounting bushes at once. Replacing bushes as a set helps ensure balanced subframe support and long-term reliability.

Both options are engineered for correct fitment and durable performance.

Key Benefits of Subframe Bushes and Kits

Improved suspension alignment stability

Reduced subframe movement under load

Reduced noise and vibration transfer

Improved steering response and vehicle control

Durable replacement for worn factory bushes

Maintaining subframe mount integrity is essential for predictable handling and long-term component life.

Who Are Subframe Bushes and Kits For?

This range is well suited to:

Vehicles with excessive vibration or clunking from worn mounts

Cars experiencing steering wander or inconsistent alignment

Owners refreshing suspension mounting components

Drivers seeking improved ride refinement and stability

Replacing subframe bushes helps restore a more stable and controlled driving experience.
