Suspension Repair
You should expect a smooth ride when you get behind the wheel. If you’re experiencing a bumpy ride with poor handling instead, there’s a high chance you’re in need of suspension repair. Knocking, rattling and other unusual underbody noises are typical signs that something is amiss with your suspension.
Your suspension system is responsible for stablishing and controlling your car, allowing it to handle bumps, dips and whatever else the open road throws at it. It’s a system made up of various parts including shock absorbers, coil springs and ball joints. Together these elements ensure that your tyres always maintain contact with the road and keep your car stable. This allows you to maintain control even when cornering and braking.
If your car has been handling poorly, it’s time to book in for a suspension service and, if necessary, suspension repair.

Common signs of suspension problems
Some common indicators that you’re due for suspension repair or service include:
Your car is pulling to one side
If your car is drifting a lot or pulling from one side of the road to another, that’s a sign that your shocks are having trouble stabilising the body of your vehicle.
Poor handling
If your car bounces when you drive, dips forward when you brake or doesn’t manoeuvre properly around corners, these are all signs of problems with your suspension.
One corner sitting low
Check out the corners of your vehicle. Worn or damaged springs in your suspension can cause one corner to sit a lot lower to the ground than the rest.
A bumpier ride
Suspension issues can cause your car to feel noticeably bumpier and less comfortable as you drive along. You may also experience vibrations coming from your steering wheel that signify problems with your shock absorbers. A sudden jolt is normal if you hit a bump on the road, but excessive bouncing and shuddering are signs of suspension issues.
Irregular tyre wear
Your suspension system is responsible for keeping your car balanced. If you’ve noticed uneven wear and tear on your tyres, it shows that this balance has been disturbed.
Continuing to drive when you’ve noticed these issues isn’t advisable. It reduces the safety of your vehicle and increases the risk of an accident. If your vehicle isn’t in good shape to drive anywhere, a mobile mechanic like NC Autos can meet you where you are and carry out the required suspension repair.
