Why it matters
Worn suspension doesmore than feel rough.
Your suspension keeps the tyres planted, the ride controlled and the car safe to drive, especially on rough North Queensland roads.
Comfort and control
Fresh shocks and springs stop the car bouncing and wallowing so it feels planted on corrugations and country roads.
Even tyre wear
Worn shocks and poor alignment scrub your tyres out early. Sorting the suspension makes a set of tyres go the distance.
Safe handling under load
Good suspension keeps your tyres on the road for shorter stops and stable cornering, towing or touring with a load.

Common questions
The questionswe hear most.
Still not sure? Give the workshop a call or send a message and we will sort it.
Bouncing or floating after bumps, the nose diving when you brake, knocking over bumps, uneven tyre wear or the car wandering on the road. If any of those sound familiar, bring it in for a look.
Most shocks last around 80,000 to 100,000 km, but rough roads, corrugations and heavy 4WD use wear them sooner. We can check them when your car is in.
Yes. Any time we replace suspension or steering parts the alignment should be reset to factory spec. We do it in-house so it is sorted in the one visit.
Yes. Shocks, springs, bushes and repairs for 4WDs and utes like the Hilux, Ranger, LandCruiser, Triton, D-Max and Patrol, to keep them riding right on Townsville roads.
It depends on which parts are worn and your make and model. We diagnose the problem, show you what we find and quote up front before any work.
Usually worn springs, bushes or an alignment that has drifted. We diagnose the cause and put it right rather than guessing.
