Suspension Repairs
Ball Joint Replacement
Ball joints are crucial components connecting your wheels to the suspension, allowing smooth pivoting and control.
Over time, ball joints wear out, causing noise, vibration, and poor handling. Replacing them restores precise steering and stability, making every drive safer and smoother.
Tie Rod End Replacement
Tie rod ends link your steering system to the wheels, giving you control over direction.
Worn tie rod ends can cause vibrations and inaccurate steering, putting your safety at risk. Replacing them enhances control, offering better handling and a responsive drive.
Control Arm Bushing Replacement
Control arm bushings absorb vibrations and reduce friction, playing a key role in a smooth ride.
When they wear out, your car may feel shaky, and handling can suffer. New bushings keep your suspension steady, providing a stable and comfortable drive.
Sway Bar Link Repair/Replacement
Sway bars control the vehicle’s roll when cornering.
Damaged sway bar links can cause a rough, uneven feel while turning, especially at higher speeds.
Repairing or replacing them improves control during sharp turns, enhancing safety and comfort.
Wheel Bearing Replacement
Wheel bearings are essential for smooth wheel rotation and alignment.
When they wear out, they can cause noise, resistance, and uneven tyre wear.
Replacing them provides a quieter, safer ride with improved alignment and reduced wear on tyres.
Power Steering Pump Repair/Replacement
The power steering pump makes steering easier, especially at low speeds.
Faulty pumps can lead to stiff, unresponsive steering and even fluid leaks.
Replacing the pump restores steering ease and precision, giving you full control without added effort.
