Steering & Suspension in Waitara
Worn suspension and steering parts change how the car handles and how quickly it stops. They're worth checking before they get worse.
5.0from 30 Google reviewsBouncy, noisy, wandering? Check the suspension.
Suspension wears slowly, so the change in ride and handling is easy to get used to. Worn shocks let the car bounce and lean, worn bushes and joints cause clunks and vague steering, and both wear your tyres faster.
An inspection on the hoist shows exactly which parts are worn and which are fine.

Steering & Suspension questions
How do I know if my shock absorbers are worn?
A bouncy ride, the car leaning heavily in corners, nose-diving under brakes or cupped tyre wear are all common signs. An inspection on the hoist confirms it.
Can worn suspension affect my tyres?
Yes. Worn suspension and steering components often cause uneven tyre wear, so replacing tyres without fixing the cause means the new ones wear the same way.
What's that clicking when I turn?
A clicking noise on full lock is often a worn CV joint, especially if the rubber boot has split. It's worth getting checked before the joint fails.
