Suspension & Steering

About our Suspension and Steering Parts

Your car’s steering and suspension is a complex system made up of a number of different components which connect the body of a car to the wheels. This system reduces any vibrations from uneven road surfaces, as well as allowing you to control the direction of your vehicle. However, gradual wear and tear, frequently driving on poor road surfaces and uneven tyre pressure can cause damage to your steering and suspension and have an impact on the way your car drives. Some signs that your steering and suspension may need repairing include:

• Increasingly bumpy journeys
• Difficulty steering
• Car pulling to one side
• Uneven tyre treads
