Your car's suspension is there to provide a comfortable smooth ride, even when you're on a bumpy road. However, the most important function of your suspension is to keep all four tyres in contact with the road, so your steering and braking systems are effective.

It is important that all parts of your suspension system are in good condition including shock absorbers (or struts) and springs plus ball joints, tie rod ends and suspension bushes. For example, one worn shock absorber could mean that you need up to 2.5 metres longer to stop. That could be the difference between stopping safely and crashing.*

Some common warning signs of worn suspension systems are:

• Car dips forward when you brake
• Shock absorbers are leaking fluid
• Your car handles different when cornering
  

We carry a wide range of suspension replacement parts and our qualified team will ensure that your suspension system is safe and in excellent condition.
