SUSPENSION & STEERING
CANBERRA.
Clunks over Canberra's potholes, a wandering steering feel, or a harsh ride after a gravel run to the Brindabellas, we diagnose and fix the actual worn component, not just the symptom.
Also need tyres? Browse our tyre range or see all workshop services.
Call to book, same-day a suspension or steering check is often available.
Signs your suspension or steering needs attention.
Clunking over bumps
A knock over speed humps or the potholes on older Canberra streets usually points to a worn bush or ball joint.
Vague or wandering steering
If the car feels loose and needs constant correction on the Monaro Highway, worn tie rod ends are a common cause.
Excessive bouncing
A car that keeps bouncing after a bump or corner usually has tired shocks or struts losing their damping.
Uneven tyre wear
Cupped or scalloped wear patterns often trace back to worn suspension components, not just alignment.
Everything included, no surprises.
Full Hoist Inspection
Every bush, ball joint, tie rod and shock physically checked for play or wear.
Guaranteed Parts & Labour
Replacement components backed by our workshop warranty.
1-2 Day Turnaround
Most suspension and steering repairs are completed within one to two days.
Ride Quality Restored
Fresh shocks and struts bring back proper damping and control.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."
Suspension & Steering for customers across Canberra & Queanbeyan.
Between potholed suburban streets, roundabout-heavy arterial roads and the gravel runs plenty of Canberra drivers do out to the Brindabellas and Namadgi, suspension and steering components take a beating. We inspect on the hoist, replace only what's actually worn, and always flag when a wheel alignment should follow the repair.
