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.

Caster Wedges for TOYOTA HILUX _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear)

_N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster wedges are used to correct caster angle on leaf-sprung 4x4 suspension systems, particularly...

_N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster wedges are used to correct caster angle on leaf-sprung 4x4 suspension systems, particularly after a suspension lift or ride height change. By adjusting the axle angle relative to the chassis, caster wedges help restore correct steering geometry, improving straight-line stability, steering return-to-centre, and overall _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX control.

Correct caster alignment is a key factor in achieving predictable steering behaviour and confident handling.

Why Use _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster Wedges?

Suspension lifts on leaf-sprung _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUXs can alter caster angle, often reducing steering stability and causing vague steering feel or poor return-to-centre. Incorrect caster can also contribute to uneven handling and increased driver fatigue, especially on long highway drives or when towing.

_N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster wedges provide a practical solution by repositioning the axle to correct caster angle. Once installed, they help lock alignment settings in place and maintain consistent steering performance across varied driving conditions.

_N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster Wedge Range

The _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX caster wedge range includes multiple angle options to suit different lift heights and steering correction requirements.

1-degree caster wedges: 1-degree wedges provide minor caster correction, ideal for small alignment changes or lower lift heights where only a slight adjustment is needed.

2-degree caster wedges: 2-degree wedges offer a moderate correction for common suspension lift setups, helping restore balanced steering response and stability.

3-degree caster wedges: 3-degree wedges provide greater caster correction for higher lifts or setups requiring stronger steering geometry adjustment. They help improve straight tracking and steering return-to-centre on more heavily modified vehicles.

Selecting the correct wedge angle helps ensure caster is corrected to suit the vehicle?s lift height and driving requirements.

Key Benefits of _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster Wedges

Restored caster angle after suspension lifts

Improved straight-line stability and tracking

Better steering return-to-centre

More consistent steering feel and control

Locked-in alignment for long-term performance

Correct _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX caster geometry supports safer and more confident 4x4 handling.

Who Are _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster Wedges For?

_N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUX Caster wedges are well suited to:

Leaf-sprung _N36, _N46, _N65, _N67, _N105, _N106 (Leaf Spring Front & Rear) HILUXs fitted with suspension lift kits

Vehicles with vague steering or poor return-to-centre

Touring and towing vehicles requiring stable handling

Off-road builds needing corrected steering geometry

Correct caster alignment is critical for predictable steering and reduced tyre wear.
