One main function of your car’s suspension is to provide a smooth, comfortable ride and even when you’re on a bumpy road. 

However, your suspension’s most important job is to keep all four tyres in firm contact with the road so that steering, driving and braking systems are effective. 

Without your suspension in good working order, control of the vehicle can become unmanageable and can lead to unfortunate (and fully-avoidable) accidents.

What are the signs your Suspension & Shock Absorbers may need servicing?

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the “safety triangle” consisting of the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral tor the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

Since the timing belt has such an important role to play in your car's running system, it's crucial to have it replaced at the manufacturers recommended intervals or if there are obvious signs of wear and cracking. 

In most cases, there is no indication that a timing belt is becoming worn. Often, it just breaks. That's why most manufacturers recommend you have your vehicle's timing belt replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers.

Is your car in need of a timing belt replacement? Our Mechanics at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Pakenham) can inspect, recommend and replace the timing belt in your car and save thousands of dollars on costly repairs as a result of a broken timing belt.
