When to get your suspension and shock absorbers checked out...

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

At Mr Spanners Automotive in Sumner we service shock absorbers and suspension systems regularly. Our mechanics have the experience and knowledge to fix whatever problems you may have quickly and efficiently. We also strive to provide the best customer service experience in the industry. We look forward to seeing you soon.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral in keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss such as the common symptoms below, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

  • You notice your car is taking a greater distance to stop that usual
  • Your car's bonnet dips when braking
  • The steering wheel vibrates
  • The car veers in side winds
  • The tyres are wearing unevenly

What do your shock absorbers and suspension do?

Most people think of shock absorbers as a system that supports driver comfort but they are much more important than that. In combination with your car's suspension, the shocks (shock absorbers) play a vital role in keeping you, your passengers and your vehicle safe whilst braking, cornering and general driving.
