At Vehicle Tech, your trusted local Repco Authorised Service Centre, we specialise in delivering comprehensive suspension and steering services backed by nationwide warranties, giving you peace of mind wherever you drive.

Let’s explore why regular suspension and steering servicing is so important, what’s involved, and how to spot common warning signs that your vehicle may need attention.

• Safety is maintained:
  Faulty suspension or steering components can increase braking distances and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, especially during sudden manoeuvres or emergency stops.
• Tyre wear is minimised:
  Problems with alignment, shocks, or steering can cause uneven or rapid tyre wear, leading to more frequent tyre replacements and compromised road grip.
• Driving comfort is preserved:
  A healthy suspension absorbs road bumps, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride for you and your passengers.

Ignoring suspension and steering issues can lead to dangerous driving conditions and expensive repairs down the track. That’s why vehicle owners in Lilydale trust Vehicle Tech to keep their vehicles in top condition with professional, high-quality services.

• Checking and replacing worn shock absorbers and struts
• Inspecting and adjusting wheel alignment
• Assessing power steering components, including fluid levels
• Checking for worn or damaged steering linkages, ball joints, and bushings
• Inspecting suspension springs and mounts for signs of fatigue or damage
• Testing the overall handling and ride comfort

If any parts need replacement, we use only quality components that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Plus, as a Repco Authorised Service Centre, all work is warranty-backed, ensuring your confidence and protection on the road.

• Unusual noises:
  Clunking, knocking, or squeaking sounds when driving over bumps often point to worn suspension components.
• Vehicle pulling to one side:
  If your car drifts left or right without steering input, it could indicate alignment problems or worn steering parts.
• Steering wheel vibration or looseness:
  Excessive vibration, especially at higher speeds, or a loose, unresponsive steering wheel are signs of steering system issues.
• Uneven or rapid tyre wear:
  Misaligned wheels or faulty suspension can cause tyres to wear unevenly or faster than normal.
• Excessive bouncing:
  If your car bounces excessively after hitting a bump or feels unstable, your shock absorbers or struts may be worn out.
• Difficult steering:
  Heavy or hard-to-turn steering could signal low power steering fluid, a pump problem, or other mechanical faults.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your vehicle inspected promptly. Suspension and steering issues don’t improve over time – they only get worse, affecting your vehicle’s safety and handling.
