Signs your suspension is worn
- Knocking or clunking over speed bumps and potholes
- The car leaning more in corners or diving under braking
- Bouncing after bumps
- Pulling to one side, or vague steering
- Uneven or rapid tyre wear
- One corner sitting lower than the others
What we repair
Coil springs
Springs can snap, especially on older cars and pothole-heavy roads. A broken spring is an MOT failure.
Shock absorbers
Leaking or tired dampers make the car bouncy and less stable under braking.
Bushes, links & joints
Drop links, wishbone bushes and ball joints are the usual source of knocks and clunks.
Steering components
Track rod ends and steering joints, checked and replaced as needed.
Why it matters
Suspension keeps your tyres in contact with the road. When it's worn, braking distances get longer and handling suffers, and it wears your tyres out faster. It's checked on every MOT, so if you've had an advisory, it's worth sorting before it becomes a fail.
