Suspension & shock absorber servicing
The proper functioning of your vehicle's "safety triangle," which comprises the stopping, steering, and stability capabilities, is crucial for ensuring road safety and roadworthiness.

When to get a service
To keep your vehicle in peak condition, it's crucial to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms, it's advisable to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible:
- Steering wheel vibration or pulsing.
- Nose diving and swerving, with the bonnet dipping when braking or slowing down.
- Veering in side winds.
- Rocking and rolling over bumps, with poor cornering performance.
- Uneven tyre wear.
- Rattling or clunking noises.
- Bouncing, dipping, and diving.

Some of the key components of your suspension and shock absorbers include
Springs
Which absorb energy and come in different types, such as leaf, coil, torsion bar, or air-assisted springs. The setup of the springs varies across different types of vehicles; luxury cars may have softer springs for a smoother ride, resulting in more body movement when braking and cornering, while sports cars tend to have tighter springs for more aggressive driving and less comfort.
Shock absorbers
Which dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs, are essential for preventing the vehicle from bouncing up and down when going over bumps.
Struts
Which are shock absorbers mounted inside coil springs, perform the functions of both springs and shock absorbers, and provide additional structural support for the suspension system.
Anti-sway bars
Which span the width of the axle and connect the two sides of the suspension, providing stability to the vehicle while it's in motion.
