Suspension repairs
Knocking over bumps, a car that sits low on one corner, or a broken spring on your MOT? We find the cause and price the repair before we start.
Suspension parts
Coil springs
Broken springs are one of the most common MOT failures. They are replaced in pairs across the axle.
Common MOT failShock absorbers
Worn shocks make the car bouncy, wallow in corners and wear tyres faster.
Ride and gripLinks, bushes and joints
Drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, wishbone bushes, ball joints and top mounts.
Knocks and rattlesSigns your suspension needs looking at
- A knock or clunk over bumps or speed humps.
- The car sits lower on one corner, or leans.
- A bouncy or floaty ride, or the car dives under braking.
- Pulling to one side, or tyres wearing on one edge.
- An advisory or failure on your MOT.
We inspect the suspension, show you what is worn and give you a price before any work starts. After new steering or suspension parts we will tell you if your wheel alignment should be checked, so your tyres do not wear early.
