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.

Gearbox mounts play a critical role in securing the transmission to the chassis while isolating vibration and controlling drivetrain movement. In 4WDs and high-kilometre vehicles, gearbox mounts are subjected to constant load, torque, and movement, which can lead to wear over time and negatively affect driveline performance.

Maintaining gearbox mounts helps ensure stable drivetrain alignment and smooth transmission operation.

Why Replace Gearbox Mounts?

As gearbox mounts deteriorate, excessive movement can develop during acceleration, braking, or gear changes. This can result in vibration, harsh shifting, driveline noise, and increased stress on surrounding components such as tailshafts, exhaust systems, and crossmembers.

Replacing worn gearbox mounts helps restore correct gearbox positioning, reduce unwanted movement, and improve overall driveline stability. This is especially important for vehicles used off-road, for towing, or under constant load.

Gearbox Mount Range

The gearbox mount range includes replacement mounts designed to support drivetrain stability and vibration control.

Gearbox mounts: Gearbox mounts secure the transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and torque movement. Upgraded or replacement mounts help reduce gearbox shift, improve driveline alignment, and support smoother transmission operation.

Each mount is engineered for correct fitment and long-term durability.

Key Benefits of Gearbox Mounts

Reduced gearbox movement and vibration

Improved driveline alignment and stability

Smoother gear changes

Reduced stress on drivetrain and exhaust components

Replacement solution for worn factory mounts

Maintaining gearbox mounts helps support reliable transmission performance.

Who Are Gearbox Mounts For?

Gearbox mounts are well suited to:

Vehicles experiencing vibration or harsh shifting

4WDs used for towing or off-road driving

High-kilometre vehicles requiring drivetrain maintenance

Owners seeking improved driveline control and refinement

Replacing worn mounts helps restore controlled gearbox behaviour.
