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.

Transmission with Fitting Position Rear Axle for Vehicle

Transmission components play a critical role in transferring engine power to the driveline while maintaining smooth operation and correct alignment throughout the drivetrain. In 4WD vehicles, off-road driving, increased torque loads, suspension modifications, and drivetrain movement can accelerate wear in transmission mounts, bushings, and linkages.

Maintaining these components helps ensure reliable power delivery, smooth gear changes, and reduced vibration under a wide range of driving conditions.

Why Upgrade Transmission Parts?

As transmission mounts and bushings wear, excessive movement can develop within the drivetrain. This can lead to vibration, drivetrain noise, harsh shifting, and increased stress on surrounding components such as tailshafts and gear linkages.

Upgrading worn or degraded transmission parts helps restore proper drivetrain alignment, reduce unwanted movement, and improve overall shift quality. This is especially important for 4WDs used off-road, for towing, or under sustained load.

Transmission Parts Range

The transmission parts range includes components designed to support drivetrain stability and shift precision.

Drive couplings: Drive couplings are designed to absorb drivetrain movement and vibration while allowing controlled flex between driveline components. Replacing worn couplings helps reduce vibration and supports smooth power transfer.

Gearbox spacers: Gearbox spacers are used to reposition the gearbox to suit suspension or drivetrain changes. They help maintain correct driveline angles and reduce stress on mounts and joints.

Gearbox mounts: Gearbox mounts secure the transmission to the chassis while isolating vibration. Upgraded or replacement mounts help control gearbox movement and improve drivetrain stability under load.

Mount and bush kits: Mount and bush kits include replacement bushings designed to restore proper support and reduce play within transmission mounting points. They help improve driveline alignment and reduce unwanted movement.

Shifter bush kits: Shifter bush kits are designed to improve gear selection by reducing play in the shifter mechanism. Replacing worn shifter bushes helps restore precise and consistent gear changes.

Together, these components help maintain smooth drivetrain operation and long-term transmission reliability.

Key Benefits of Quality Transmission Parts

Reduced wear on drivetrain components

Improved reliability for off-road and touring use

Proper transmission support components help ensure consistent driveline performance.

Who Are These Transmission Parts For?

This range is suited to:

4WDs experiencing drivetrain vibration or harsh shifting

Vehicles with worn or ageing transmission mounts

Off-road and touring vehicles operating under load

Drivers seeking smoother and more controlled gear changes

Maintaining transmission components plays an important role in overall vehicle performance.
