Common Issues We Fix
Bouncy or unstable ride
Worn shock absorbers can't control spring oscillation, causing poor handling, increased stopping distances, and passenger discomfort.
Knocking or clunking noises
Worn suspension bushings, ball joints, or drop links create noise over bumps. Early replacement prevents damage to other components.
Uneven tyre wear
Suspension geometry problems cause premature tyre wear. Proper alignment and component replacement saves money on tyres.
Vehicle pulls to one side
Can indicate suspension damage, worn components, or alignment issues. Professional diagnosis prevents accidents and further damage.
Nose diving when braking
Worn front shocks cause excessive weight transfer, reducing braking efficiency and increasing stopping distances significantly.
