Quality Ford Servicing in Northgate

The Key to a Safer and Longer Lasting Vehicle

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the “safety triangle.” Enhance your driving experience with regular suspension and shock absorber servicing and repairs. Discover the three key benefits of consistent inspection and maintenance.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for 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.

Are you tired of feeling every bump on the road and worried about the safety of your vehicle? It's time to give your car the attention it deserves! Regular inspection and servicing of your suspension and shock absorbers can offer a plethora of benefits that will keep your vehicle in top-notch condition.

In simple terms, inspecting and servicing your suspension and shock absorbers regularly means ensuring that your vehicle remains stable, comfortable, and safe to drive. It allows you to experience smoother rides, protects you from accidents, and increases the longevity of your car. So, don't ignore these essential maintenance tasks - invest in the well-being of your vehicle and enjoy the benefits it brings to your driving experience.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

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

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

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include:

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.

Unleash a Smooth Ride Expert Suspension & Shock Absorber Servicing in Northgate

The constant velocity joint, or CV joint, connects your transmission to your wheels.

When working properly this part ensures a smooth and constant rotation of the wheels while you are turning corners, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride.

If there are issues such as a cracked or torn boot or not enough high pressure grease, then the CV joint can fail. Symptoms include poor handling around corners, vibrating or an audible clicking sound whilst cornering.

Contact us at the first sign of trouble because repairing a torn boot and refilling the grease is a relatively cheap and easy procedure but if you leave it you could end up with a failed joint which needs to be replaced. We are located in Northgate and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Northgate

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Northgate to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at Northgate Automotive means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!
