Frequently Asked Questions

Here's some answers to the most frequently asked questions by our customers

My car is making a funny noise over bumps, what is wrong with it?

This could be caused by many different things. The majority of suspension systems are made from metal, with rubber bushes connecting the metal parts together. Over time, these parts can wear out. Even brakes can sometimes cause unusual noises. Suspension systems work hardest over large bumps, which is why the noise often only occurs in those situations.

Why would my suspension wear out?

The main reason is wear. When a vehicle is in use, the suspension is constantly moving and working, which causes the rubber parts to wear out. Metal parts can also weaken or corrode, and plastic parts can become hard and brittle. Even if a vehicle isn’t in use, the parts still age, so wear will occur over time.

How do I know if there is anything wrong with my suspension?

When driving the vehicle you may notice unusual noises or the vehicle feeling odd to drive. These are all signs of suspension wear and a repair is required. Even if a vehicle isn’t driven the rubber joints will still age and deteriorate so its always worth keeping an eye on regardless of how the vehicle is used.

How much would it costs to fix?

There is no simple answer to this. Some suspension repairs can be very inexpensive if they are quick and straightforward, while others can add up. For example, a simple drop link replacement is usually fairly cheap, whereas replacing lower arms involves larger parts and more labour, making the cost significantly higher.
